Needed: Cryptid Eyewitness Who Can Draw
Posted by: Loren Coleman on July 24th, 2008
I have a request from a credible art book compiler who is going to press soon. He needs an eyewitness to a non-hairy-hominoid cryptid, who can draw their cryptozoological creature, and is willing to contribute a drawing of what they saw to his book.
If you have seen a cryptid, can sketch it rather well, and would like to donate a drawing or two, send an email to me at
Loren Coleman
lcoleman {@} maine.rr.com [remove the { } ]
with a jpeg attachment of your drawing(s).
Thank you.
I may use a few sketches (not used in his book) for a future posting here at Cryptomundo, so sending them in is an acknowledgment of your permission to utilize your drawing(s).
P.S. Does anyone know whatever happened to pterodactyl eyewitness Erskin Kuhn? His drawing is up top.

Starting his fieldwork and investigations in 1960, after traveling and trekking extensively in pursuit of cryptozoological mysteries, Coleman began writing to share his experiences in 1969.

Loren Coleman’s daily blog, as a member of the Cryptomundo Team, served as an ongoing avenue of communication for the ever-growing body of cryptozoo news from 2005 through 2013. He returned as an infrequent contributor beginning Halloween week of 2015.
Coleman is the founder in 2003, and current director of the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine.
I last read about Kuhn in Ken Gerhard’s Big Bird book. I think he used to post in “creationist” websites—i.e., “Living Dinosaurs” sites. That’s all I know.
The pterosaur is interesting, because it combines features which aren´t seen together in any known fossil species. Its head is very similar to Pteranodon, a very big and tail-less Pterosaurs, but its body is much more similar to Rhamphorhynchus and similar species, Pterosaurs which had a long tail with a little “flag” at the end, but no bony projections at the head like those of Pterandon…
