Hello! We are Bomi from Korea and Carlito from UK and our art collaboration group called ‘BomiLito’! 

Today we kicked off our tour of the search for the weird and wonderful at Marton Mere, Blackpool where (supposedly) lurks a dragon, a mermaid, the ghost of a monk AND an actual crocodile!

All somehow avoided us but that won’t stop us drawing and posting our adventure related artwork in the next few days.

Quite obviously the footprint of a huge beast! Dragon or Bigfoot maybe?

A mermaid (or dragon) has obviously passed this way into the mere many times! Note how brave Bom Carrot is as she edges towards the water.

Carlito points to some weird and windy bulrushes where something surely lurks. A ghost monk sleeping? A dragon? A mermaid? Some ducks?

A cloven hoofed footprint!? Do ghost monks have cloven hoofs?

A well slopped through trail that no doubt leads to the lair of the beast or mermaid. This being our first adventure we admit we did not have the sufficient cojones to follow it all the way. Plus! We had no wellygogs.

No doubt a spy for the real dragon. We were also watched all day by any number of birds and trees!

Broken branches! Snapped by something huge passing through! A dragon perhaps?!

Ohmaya! We are deep in surreal and fortean territory now it seems!

A ravaged and savaged tennis ball we found along the trail. Has it passed through the drooling jaws of a centurys old dragon?! Surely no ordinary animal could have caused such destruction of a ball!

Two photos of the mere itself. All looks calm but who knows what lurks in the depths?! In the top photo we can see what looks to the untrained eye as two swans with their young…..but is it!?! Is it really? And what of the glowing blob in the upper right hand corner?! A glowing ghost monk!? Or not.

A sign that, for some utterly odd reason, does not allude to any of the fortean goings on in the reserve! Bitterns though….which will eventually be ghost bitterns we no doubt. Fight the fake news.

Bom Carrot contemplates the fact that we had no real sighting of either dragon, mermaid or ghost monk today but we DID collate plenty of indisputable evidence.Over the next few days we will paint BomiLito interpretations of the creatures we did not see.Thank you to the kind people of Marton Mere, Blackpool. It is a place of pure beauty (and hidden horror) and, as such, well worth a visit.
