G for Griffin
Freaks A-Z. Letter "G"
Size: 210mm x 297mm
Material:Charcoal pen
The griffin, is a legendary creature with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle. As the lion was traditionally considered the king of the beasts and the eagle was the king of the birds, the griffin was thought to be an especially powerful and majestic creature. The griffin was also thought of as king of the creatures. Griffins are known for guarding treasure and priceless possessions. Adrienne Mayor, a classical folklorist, proposes that the griffin was an ancient misconception derived from the fossilized remains of the Protoceratops found in gold mines in the Altai mountains of Scythia, in present day southeastern Kazakhstan. In antiquity it was a symbol of divine power and a guardian of the divine.Some have suggested that the word griffin is cognate with Cherub.

F for Frankenstein
Freaks A-Z. Letter "F"
Size: 210mm x 297mm
Material:Charcoal pen
Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus is a novel written by Mary Shelley about a monster produced by an unorthodox scientific experiment. The first edition was published anonymously in London in 1818. Shelley's name appears on the second edition, published in France in 1823.
Frankenstein is infused with some elements of the Gothic novel and the Romantic movement and is also considered to be one of the earliest examples of science fiction. Brian Aldiss has argued that it should be considered the first true science fiction story, because unlike in previous stories with fantastical elements resembling those of later science fiction, the central character "makes a deliberate decision" and "turns to modern experiments in the laboratory" to achieve fantastic results.The story is partially based on Giovanni Aldini's electrical experiments on dead and (sometimes) living animals and was also a warning against the expansion of modern humans in the Industrial Revolution, alluded to in its subtitle, The Modern Prometheus. It has had a considerable influence across literature and popular culture and spawned a complete genre of horror stories and films.
科學怪人，又譯作《弗蘭肯斯坦》，是西方文學中的第一部科學幻想小說，誕生於日內瓦湖畔，出自瑪麗·雪萊之手。最初出版於1818年，較為普及的版本是1831年印行的第三版，屬於受到浪漫主義影響的哥德小說。後世有部份學者認為這部小說可視為恐怖小說或科幻小說的始祖。弗蘭肯斯坦是故事中的瘋狂醫生，因為以科學的方式使死屍復活，所以中文版譯作《科學怪人》。而那個人造人稱為「弗蘭肯斯坦的怪物」。

C for Cerberus
Freaks A-Z. Letter "C"
Size: 210mm x 297mm
Material:Charcoal pen
Cerberusor Kerberos, in Greek and Roman mythology, is a multi-headedhound (usually three-headed) which guards the gates of the Underworld, to prevent those who have crossed the river Styx from ever escaping. Cerberus featured in many works of ancient Greek and Roman literature and in works of both ancient and modern art and architecture, although, the depiction and background surrounding Cerberus often differed across various works by different authors of the era. The most notable difference is the number of its heads: Most sources describe or depict three heads; others show it with two or even just one; a smaller number of sources show a variable number, sometimes as many as 50.
