Cathy Durso explores our connection with animals. (She does so literally in her “Megabeasts” series, which features animal-human hybrids). I love her simple ink-on-paper drawings. She’s also worked  in collage, textile, and web design. On her site she notes that she loves to hike, which is probably where she gets a lot of inspiration, and also documents her Whuldebynx sightings.
