The Story of Encryptids

Cryptids: Those mysterious creatures that many have claimed to see but have not yet been proven to exist. Secretly… we really hope they do!

The faces behind this collection bring unique personalities and skill sets onto the NFT scene. Friends since their freshman year of high school, Kat and Keisha are a power team of creativity and humor, and now you are invited to embrace all the fun to be had by engaging with the bizarre world of these Encryptid creatures!

Kat has always had an odd affinity for cryptids of all forms. So, years ago, she illustrated a series of mythological creatures in her paper goods product line that have delighted the imaginations of young and old alike. Bigfoot has long been her favorite (with the Loch Ness Monster coming in as a close second), so naturally, he was the initial creature birthed in the Encryptids NFT collection.

Taken by the whimsy and creativity of Kat’s artwork, Keisha came onto the scene with the catchy name of Encryptids for the collection, as well as names for each of the characters. As a kid, she was charmed by the poetry of Shel Silverstein. Eventually, she began writing her own rhythmic rhymes and sing-song verses that flow to her with ease and innovative quirk. Now, Keisha has had the pleasure of building on Kat’s bright and compelling Encryptids artwork through her lighthearted, yet touching, storytelling.
