We sometimes lose ourselves in the daily transitions from home to work and back home again. This can sometimes make us unaware of the changes that are happening around us. We might miss a moment to stop and listen to a violinist playing the most beautiful concerto on the street corner because we are just to absorbed in the reality of getting to work or the other social things that makes us human.

But even in all this, we must and should take a moment to appreciate the talent of so many people in the Sasquatch community. A few weeks ago I sat down and did a small sketch of a Sasquatch based on the many reports of witness accounts of this Hominoid. After I finished my small drawing I thought to myself,” I know this great guy and artist that could make this drawing into a piece of art”. I sent him the sketch and what you are about to see in the pictures below is the work of an amazing artist named Steven DeMarco.


Steven has an Associate Degree in Commercial Art/Illustration and graduated in 1984 from the American Academy of Art, located in Chicago IL. He’s a proud father of two children and has a passion for art that was inspired by watching horror films with his mother when he was a little boy. An excellent illustrator and model painter, he has won awards and numerous recognitions of his talent.

Currently Steven just finished working on his most current project, a book about Sasquatch sightings “BIGFOOT: ENCOUNTERS PAST TO PRESENT” by Daniel Perez (author) which is on sale now on KINDLE Amazon for only $1.99. Steven DeMarco (Illustrator).



Below you will see the process from his preliminary drawing to the finished artwork.

As you can see, beautiful work by a talented artist, Steven is a member of “Sasquatch Lives?” on Facebook http://facebook.com/steven.b.demarco. You can friend him and see his amazing art and models. Steven also gave me the honor of using his painting as the groups “Sasquatch Lives?” official profile picture on Facebook and primary logo for the webpage www.sasquatchlives.com.

As you can see, many things are happening everyday around us. It is great to have a passion for Sasquatch, but it is also great to appreciate the talent of a man who is bringing to life one of the most intriguing characters of cryptozoology. So take a breath sometimes and feel the breeze blowing over your hair. Take some time from you busy day to appreciate the beauty around you and maybe when we do find out if Sasquatch is real or not, you will look back at this art work and think “Whoa! That painting is real close to what Sasquatch looks like.”

Bigfoot injured by a forest fire was taken away and hidden by the authorities, not even Robert Lindsay can top this story

This story was circulating the internet way back in 2004, or maybe as far back as 1999. Back when everybody was on 56k dial-up modems and a "Facebook" was just a regular book with directory listing of names and headshots. This story was so disturbing and so shocking that nobody believed it at the time. It was the Robert Lindsay " Bear Hunter: Two Bigfoots Shot and DNA Samples Taken " story of the time. And like Robert's Bear Hunter story , this witness didn't have a name. The only thing known about the witness is that this person was a government employee, anonymous of course. The author of the story was a science teacher named Thom Powell who believe it really happened and that the whole story was an elaborate cover-up. Powell said the anonymous government employee alerted the BFRO about a 7.5 feet long/tall burn victim with "multiple burns on hands, feet, legs and body; some 2nd and 3rd degree burns". Sadly, there was no DNA samples taken from

Rumors abound on whether or not Finding Bigfoot will continue, but hopeful news is on the horizon. Snake Oil Productions, the production company responsible for Finding Bigfoot, is seeking a permit for filming in the Monterey, Virginia area. Monterey lies between the Monongahela and George Washington National Forests. Definitely a good place to look for bigfoot. We can only speculate if this means Finding Bigfoot has been signed on for additional seasons, or if perhaps a new bigfoot show is in the works. We'll keep you updated on any further announcements for sure.

Samurai Chatter: Have you used it in the field?

Editor's Note: This is a guest post by Suzie M., a sasquatch enthusiast. Crypto-linguists believe that the species known Bigfoot/Sasquatch/Yeti/Yowie ect speak and understand a complex language, which by all accounts seems to stem from Asia. When one listens to it there is definitely a sense of it being Chinese or Japanese. It is a very odd mix of sounds, clicks and what could be actual words. This is the reason some experts are looking into the Asian dialect theory, some have said it could be a lost dialect, which was carried from Asia by the Bigfoot species that colonised America.
