Mythical Creatures: Rougarou (Louisiana, USA)

One of the most alarming aspects of mythical creatures and the legends that describe them is that some creatures pop up in multiple cultures across the planet, despite those cultures having no contact to explain the connection! Case in point, early French-Canadian explorers and trappers from the 17th century have their version of a werewolf legend called the Rougarou (this despite the more commonly-known werewolf legend allegedly originating in Greece). This Louisiana beast is said to be part man, part wolf, and to be able to shape-shift at will (compared to only being able to shape-shift during the full moon, which is the case with many other werewolf and wolf-man legends). Inspired by these old legends and myths (some of which date back to the dawn of civilization), Anderson Design Group poster artists hand-rendered a vintage-styled poster of the mysterious Rougarou legend, an original illustration and retro design crafted in a fashion that’s reminiscent of the golden age of poster art, vintage art, Art Deco, and classic travel illustrations. This iconic monster design is available as a poster print (framed or unframed), canvas, metal sign, mini-canvas, or as a notecard or postcard, with multiple size options available for prints, canvases, mini-canvases, and metal signs.
