Tribal Terrifier
In the early years of the Victorian era, a British explorer began suffering from a recurring fever dream in which he found himself standing amongst enormous stone ruins deep within an unfamiliar Amazonian jungle.
Each night the vision returned with greater clarity: towering walls covered in strange geometric carvings, colossal monuments half-swallowed by vines and, watching from between the trees, figures wearing elaborate masks. Most disturbing of all was a sensation that something was waiting for him there.
Upon waking, he would find himself able to recall the same details with impossible precision — a particular bend in a river, a distant mountain ridge and the coordinates of a place he had never visited. The dreams eventually became so persistent that he abandoned his work in London and sailed for South America, convinced that he had somehow been shown a place that should not have been known to him.
Months later, after travelling deep into an unmapped region of the Amazon, he found it.
Hidden beneath the jungle canopy stood a vast settlement of crumbling stone structures, enormous walls and ornate monuments being slowly swallowed by roots and vegetation. An isolated tribe appeared to inhabit the ruins, yet there was no evidence that they had built them. The masonry was impossibly precise, with enormous stones fitted together without mortar and geometric carvings cut with a sophistication seemingly beyond the tools of any civilisation known to have existed in the region.
Amongst the ruins he discovered strange depictions of strange beings with elongated heads descending from the heavens, surrounded by kneeling human forms. He spent several days sketching the structures and recording his observations, becoming increasingly convinced that the ruins belonged to a civilization far older than anything previously discovered.
Then, while sketching one of the larger monuments, the jungle fell silent. From between the ruins, a masked figure emerged. Then another. Then dozens. They appeared silently from the darkness of the ancient structures and dense jungle, surrounding him before he could reach for his rifle. His final journal entry ends abruptly halfway through a sentence:
“I have studied the ruins carefully, and there can be only one explanation for their construction. These stones were not raised by—”
The explorer was never seen again.
Several weeks later, local fishermen discovered his weathered leather field bag tangled amongst the reeds further downriver. Inside were his water-damaged journals, sketches and notes describing the ruins and the masked inhabitants. Most of the pages had been destroyed by the river.
One sketch survived.
It depicted the largest monument beneath a night sky, surrounded by crudely drawn stars. Beneath it, the explorer had written only three words:
“They came from above.”

Whether you're decorating your space or starting your own collection of odd little beings, each woodcut is a one-of-a-kind original designed by WizardBones and brought to life through a completely hands-on process, from the first sketch to the final brushstroke. Every piece is made to bring character—and characters—into your world.
Each woodcut is hand-cut from high-quality wood panels using a jigsaw, carefully sanded, and hand-painted with meticulous attention to detail. The background is spray-painted to create bold blocks of colour, while intricate details are added by hand using acrylic gouache and fluid acrylic paints.
No laser cutters. No spray-paint stencils. Just sawdust, paint, and a steady hand.
