Adam S. Forsythe is a painter whose work delves into the rich tapestry of folklore, contemporary legend, and the fringes of societal fiction. Drawing inspiration from these narratives, and using cutting edge diffusion models, Forsythe has crafted a unique realm of populated by cryptids and monsters. In this folklore, he brings to life the fantastical beings, rendering them with a vivid palette and a touch of humour.

Forsythe's art invites viewers into a world where the mythical and the whimsical converge, encouraging a playful exploration of the unknown. His distinctive style captures the essence of these otherworldly creatures, making the extraordinary accessible and engaging. Through his paintings, Forsythe not only entertains but also provokes thought about the stories we tell and the creatures that might just lurk at the edge of reality.
