Another week, another myth!
Much like last week's Firebird, the Gargoyle well known, not because of it;s own myth, but because of more modern use, namely Disney's TV show Gargoyles. In fact the name comes from the French 'gargouille', or 'throat', relating to it's spitting of water.
The true Gargoyle originated in Medieval architecture, as use as a decorative water spout. Other cultures had similar creatures, including the Greek, Egyptians, and even some Japanese temples house frightening reliefs.
Breaking from the popular Disney designs, I dug up some Gargoyles of my own, some cute, some scary..all classic.
And finally, you can't have a feature on the Gargoyle without some hand made ones!
Please take a moment to let the artists featured know you enjoyed their works. A little comment goes a long way.
