Beautiful Bigfoot/Sasquatch Sculptures, Place Your Orders Everybody

($299.00 - Sold!)

Cliff (not Barackman) has a brand new Bigfoot art blog where he makes and sell Bigfoot clay sculptures. Most of his sculptures are made of Mid-Range or High-Fire clays. The type of clay he uses are extremely durable, and consequently, it takes the clay body anywhere from 2 to 3 months to dry. Cliff tells us as he gets better at the trade, the dry times will inevitably come down due to a more controlled amount of clay used.

As he masters the art of Bigfoot sculpturing, perhaps one day he can take on the difficult task of molding a full body. "As you'll notice immediately, everything is a bust! They're all busts because I have no idea how to do a full body and get away with it. Believe me, I've tried!" said Cliff.

Here's the story about how he got into the world of sculpting Bigfoot:

Hello!

My name is Cliff and I live in the beautiful state of Oregon and take advantage of the amazing forests I have all around me as often as I can. Living where I have for the past 22 years has taken its toll on me, in that and among other wonderful Oregony type things, I am now a firm believer in both rainy days and Bigfoot. I had an encounter with something out of the ordinary when I was a kid in Montana that left me filled with both wonderment and a thousand questions. Then again in 2008 near the Upper Colowash River here in Oregon where my experiences left my already burgeoning interest, bordering on a quite powerful fascination with these massive folks we really do share much of the land with.

I've looked for this unusual type of art and found, at best, only comical renditions with little in the way of any real detail, originality or realism. But then again what is realism when it pertains to such a reclusive creature? So, I've read every report on every encounter that I could find to attempt to get a better sense of what one of these enigmatic creatures might look like up close and more personal than most of us get to experience. I've watched the Patterson Gimlin footage ad nauseam as most visiting this site probably have* and I gotta say, I see exactly what Bob Gimlin and Roger Patterson say they saw then filmed that day in 1967.

Now whether I've captured even the slightest resemblance to that particular creature or any from the hundreds and hundreds of experiences reported across North America every year, luckily remains to be seen so I'll of course take any advice and mix it with the clay.

*Seriously, how many times have you seen it? I'm not even counting the hundreds of times its been used to advertise anything "Paranormal" on our televisions growing up.

I"m looking to expose these attempts to a broader audience and I'm hoping there's a place among what many call the Bigfoot Community where I would imagine this page will ultimately end up, right? Anyway, a spot that these things might look good on like a desk or shelf that's been screaming for a sighting! I don't have any pictures of them but each sculpture comes with a finished wood base which I also figure out.

Actually anyone interested in what I think Bigfoot looks like is encouraged to get a hold of me so I can get to work on their very own...one of my Bigfoots! If someone has paid in advance, I welcome input on the stance or attitude or expression, size, sex or color. I'm an easy going individual that simply enjoys doing this and while it lasts I'd like to share with anyone interested. I've got other sculptures as well but this page is being dedicated solely to renditions of our forest friends. I'm also trying to learn the process of making molds so I might be able to produce unlimited numbers of each piece and bring the price down a bit. I'm new to this so if you have any suggestions about anything you see here, please drop me a line.

Have a super day!

Cheers, Cliff

Montana Winter:

I tried to show some movement caused by the wind in this piece and after another holiday in Montana It was easy to recall the winters back up behind Choteau and how bitterly cold it would get. He's in the drying phase as well and I'm guessing will be ready for the kiln sometime around 4/1/2012 then choosing a color which I see as a heavy, dark to light grey with patches of snow stuck to the hair throughout the piece, around his nose and mouth perhaps.

13"Wide x 8-1/2Tall x 6-1/2Thick * Base will add up to an inch in height and two in circumference of the finished product.

Answering the Call:

One of the earlier sculptures I did and while I've always pushed this one to the back, once I put some color to it, I was able to see it in a different light. I'll admit to not putting in the kind of detail I've invested in some of the others but I think that's what sets this piece apart more than it singles it out. A classification I think only the artists are allowed to indulge in?

14"Wide x 7"Tall x 7"Thick

*Base will add up to an inch in height and two in circumference of the finished product.
