Juan Cabana’s Genuine Mummified Mermaid Freaks
Cryptozoology (from Greek κρυπτός, kriptos, “hidden” + zoology; literally, “study of hidden animals”) refers to the search for animals which are considered to be legendary or otherwise nonexistent by mainstream biology. What I like most about Juan’s work is how he strives for realism. His work truly does look like something that has possibly been unearthed after years spent in decay. You may have seen one of Tampa artist Juan Cabana’s creepy creations in the check-out line of your local grocery store.
