Illustrations from Fantasy Bestiaries
by Staff of the Poison Pie Publishing House

In 2025, the staff of the Poison Pie Publishing House continue their art project in which they render scenes from beloved books in shrinky dink form. The PPPH staff also maintain A Survey of One Hundred Bestiaries. On this page, we combine the two pursuits, interpreting as shrinky dinks creatures from volumes collected within the survey of bestiaries.
