I might be wrong but I think it's a woman and they are very great, almost tender pieces. One that I saw was a human/dog naked mother with her pups breastfeeding. There is an exhibit right now in Vitoria, Spain of the work.

I've tried google searches but you can just imagine what comes up for human-monster.

If you like that style of art, you might also check out Charlie White. He did a puppet for an Interpol video, and some other interesting pieces (Google "'charlie white' joshua" to see the rest of that particular series).
