Story Behind the Art

The Hodag is one of Wisconsin's most famous mythical creatures, a legendary beast said to roam the forests of Rhinelander. With its horns, jagged spikes, and mischievous reputation, the Hodag has captured imaginations for more than a century. Originally created as a lumberjack tall tale during Wisconsin's logging era, the Hodag has evolved from a clever hoax into a lasting symbol of regional folklore and identity.
