WITNESS SKETCHES

In 2019 I began working with witness to create composite sketches of creatures they encountered in the woods and desert. The only time I share these sketches publicly is when I have permission from the witness to do so and after they’ve already shared it publicly themselves. If a witness wishes to keep their identity, their drawing and our entire experience private - ALL OF IT

I had the honor of  working with Stephanie two years ago when I helped her create a  composite sketch of a creature she saw in Northern California in the late 1980's. She was kind enough to work with me again on this short video summarizing her encounter.

Upon watching the video, Stephanie had the following Notes:
- The raft that they had was much smaller than the one depicted in the video. She also mentioned that they did not carry it over their heads.
- Although the creature was close, it was a little further away than depicted in the video.
- When the creature walked away, it took two slow steps and vanished into the tree line (unlike the quick sprint depicted in the video.)

If you’ve had an encounter and would like to create a sketch of the creature or video of your story - email me at: [email protected]

COMPOSITE SKETCH
I had the honor of working with Rob Johnson on these sketches of a creature he and his father saw on Squak Mountain in Issaquah Washington back in 1983. You could watch a portion of (one of) our sessions this week on Travel Channel’s Expedition Bigfoot. Rob, an ex-fitness instructor/body builder, came to the table with an extensive knowledge of the human muscle system and was able to describe what he saw with incredible detail. He described this specific creature as being more human-like and that many of it muscles were similar to a humans only way more overdeveloped. He was very specific about the hair pattern all over its body. He said he could see very distinctly that it had eyebrows that went up to a point “like Mr. Spock‘s.” Rob is the second person I’ve talked to that mentioned one of these creatures having hair/peach fuzz on it’s ears. The first witness I heard this from was a 12-year-old who had an encounter in the San Bernardino Mountains in 2017.
Rob and I are planning on recording a video chat sometime next week (for The Drawings Of Bigfoot’s YouTube channel) to go over more details about the creature, our sessions and to hear Rob’s two encounter stories long form and unedited. A very special thank you to and the production team at Expedition Bigfoot for such an incredible experience and opportunity.

It’s been a long time, I shouldn’t of left you - without a Sasquatch to step to.

Hello everyone. I took some time to work on a book project (not Bigfoot related) and it truly required a great deal of my focus and energy. For that reason, I have not been on social media or have worked with any witnesses on composite sketches for the past five months. I am just now getting around to checking messages emails and responding to text messages I received during that time. My sincerest apologies to those who have tried to reach out to me, I promise I will be getting back to you soon!

THE SPIDER DROP

A HUGE acknowledgment and very special thank you to THE CONFESSIONALS PODCAST, WES GERMER, CRYPTO PTSD and NATHAN REO for giving so many people the opportunity to share their stories with the dignity they deserve.

I’ve been fascinated for several years by reports of these creatures dropping down/crawling on all fours like a spider. I remember first hearing Wes Germer, the host of describe a massive creature dropping down on all fours (from a standing position) very fluidly “like a drop of water.” Like a drop of water - for some reason, that comparison REALLY resonated with me.

The three clips I used in this video are from interviews that strongly contributed to me wanting to see what this creature would look like in this "spider position." At first, I thought it would be fun to do an animation study of it actually WALKING on all fours (on it's fingers and toes.) But then I decided to hold off on until I can work with a witness who has seen this happen first hand. So so instead of it walking, I thought it would be fun to create a (hypothetical) visual of what this creature might look like dropping down on all fours, fluidly - like a drop of water.

This video contains clips from the following podcasts/interviews

CRYPTO PTSD
EP 29 - It was crawling like a spider.

UTAH SASQUATCH (YouTube)
Video Title - Bigfoot chased us like a spider.

THE CONFESSIONALS PODCAST
EP 52 - The Bigfoot Encounter that changed everything.

* WITNESS COMPOSITE SKETCH *
I had the honor of working with Mark Hillen on this drawing of a small creature he saw near the Idaho/Montana border in 1995. It was peeking out from behind a log laying on the ground. Even though Mark insisted it was very ape-like in appearance, he always referred to the creature as “the child.”

A huge thank you to Mark for your trust patience.
