It's time for another weekly alphabetical project! Instead of living, breathing animals, we're now doing an A-to-Z of mythical creatures and fictional monsters called ALPHABEASTS!

My submission for "J" hails from the Pine Barrens of southern New Jersey. This drawing combines two of my biggest passions: art and hockey.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Jersey Devil was born the 13th offspring of a witch. Born looking normal, it transformed into a hideous countenance and flew off into the woodlands. Thousands of alleged witnesses over the past few centuries have claimed to have had encounters with it, but descriptions of it very from one person to another.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The NHL mini-expansion of 1974 saw Washington, DC and Kansas City, Missouri getting their very own pro hockey teams. The Capitals are still strong in the nation's seat of government, but the Scouts only lasted two years in KC before moving to Colorado, then to New Jersey in 1982. They named the team the Devils after their very own state legend.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
So I decided to put these two things together for this drawing. Who says the Jersey Devil isn't a fan of hockey? I mean, they named a team after it.

Microns, Sharpie and Prismacolor markers on 11x14 drawing stock.
