Modern fantasy art and literature are steeped in folklore, myths and legends of time past, which have always been populated by strange creatures far removed from the domestic animals that share our lives. Fantastic creatures such as dragons, werewolves and vampires give us enemies to fear and hazards to overcome, while sea monsters provide a visual metaphor for the things we suspect lurk below the ocean waves.
