Thanks Dave . Now ive got "bigfoot envy" ! I probably shouldnt mention it but he's available in a hard plastic figurine too..

I like the guy's line work and have been planning on drawing some hairy bloke strips myself (once I finish editing my novel and get a couple of free days up my sleeves).
He constructs the strip well too.
He purposely did not give his bigfoot shoulders because he wanted to keep him kid-friendly. What he came up with is good design because it is easy to draw over and over quickly and lends itself to expressive movement which gives his strip life.

Although I do hate the hair style...

(I started a strip last night actually, here is my Bigfoot from it. He needs some heavier inking in appropriate spots and colour. In this pose he is catching an apple after throwing a squirrel at it to knock it off a branch. It's going to be called 'Camera Trap')

Here is another strip from UTOB...

Yeah hes a great artist. Nice landscapes and colours. Would make a good cartoon too. I like your bigfoot drawing as well. Nice one!

Too funny - that dog looks like a daschund!
Got a pair of those little buggers at home....I highly doubt they would be so friendly to one!!!

Time running out on this one if anyone was going to get the book and hes nearly totally funded. This kickstarter is a great idea for anyone trying to fund a project and has a large enough following to back them.

Yeah, I was thinking of using it to fund my TV show at one stage, but then the guvmint declared them illegal for tax reasons (ATO couldn't get their grubby mitts on the dosh)
Seems like the ATO has now stopped hassling them. Now aussies can use fund me campaigns it seems.

Re this campaign... he's almost there, I urge everybody to promote it. I have been telling my students about it, hopefully helping it along. I can't wait to read the pages he has removed off-line.

Hi Wolf, that's a great drawing of a bigfoot. I was wondering why you didn't call it a Yowie and have it throwing
a sugar glider to knock a mango off a branch. Maybe that wouldn't sound as good ( or bad ).

I read parts of your novel and was impressed with your vision and imagination. Being an Aussie writing about
something in North America, I assumed you had taken your audience into account and from a publishing
point of view were writing for that audience, first being very passionate about the subject matter.

With your drawings, that audience might like to hear about Wombats and Wallabies or Bush Rats and Numbats,
even Banksias, Acacia's, Black Wattles, Iron Bark and Blood Woods. You could even bring a Tasmanian Devil, Roos or Emu's
into the picture, drawn in the style of your bigfoot, that would be a cool graphic.

You want an Arcadian setting for your beast so you don't scare the kiddies, what could be better than that.
Far more interesting than the monotonous pine forests with their nervous squirrels and occasional dopey grizzly bears.

Good points T.
Thank you. The strip idea would translate well with a possum.

I was actually thinking of drawing strips for all the hominids, yeti, pendang, alma, Sasquatch, etc.

Why limit myself?

Re the placing of the novel...
... my research has consisted of listening and reading every account I can find, and as 99% of those are US, that is my knowledge base. As well as the obviously bigger market. Bigfoot is crazy in the states right now with the plethora of podcasts, websites, etc. it is one of the biggest search terms on YouTube as well. Here in Oz, not so big.

Also, the point of my novel is to tell it all mainly from the Sasquatch perspective. Hopefully it helps stop some from getting shot, or even disturbed. If my story helps someone avoid getting hurt or prevents just one Bigfoot from getting shot, great!

My writing is influenced for this story by classic 'animal stories' like Dusty or Warrigal. The latter was a story about a dingo.

I understand completely were your coming from with the North American bigfoot audience,
I just thought if you had creative time you could produce an Australian version,
not so much in your story telling but in your graphics.

I read "Rusty the tree kangaroo " a lot but that was very serious from memory.

Dunno if you missed my first reply to your post?
I will definitely be drawing some Yowie strips... I am working on a children's book at the moment as well called 'Yell, the Yowie'.
I have written ti but not completed the illustrations yet. It is about a young Yowie called Yell because his Dad is always asking "Why does he have to yell all the time?"
The Dad teaches him how to scare a camper away from his marshmellows

Designed for misuse, no doubt, by the female Bigfoot fans out there...

Bwahahahah! Not this one, LOL XD

Loved the strip, great find and I'll see if his campaign got up, because this cartoon looks lovely.

Reminds me of a link I think I posted here many years ago of another Bigfoot online comic, so it makes sense to post it again, there are many pages of it to read and it's very well done.

Yeah me too. Hope he does another. Think i might help fund the mothman doco at small town monsters as well . Their docos are excellent.
