Just curious… who’s the guy with the grey beard and blue shirt?
Is this the Maine Monster?
LOL

Great statue! I love the kind of raised eyebrow which makes it look like it has a mischevious glint in its eye. Very cool.

Well Loren, given the similarity in facial hair, maybe you could just call it “Junior”.

It’s from the Red River Valley of the North, and Crookston in particular.

The creator expressed to me that he had no imagery model, in reality or fiction. Nevertheless, the dominating influence in America for “what” a Bigfoot looked like during this time period was Harry and the Hendersons. The movie came out in June 1987, and I think people may forget how significant it was. It was a top ten movie, and its popularity resulted in a television series that aired from January 1991 to June 1993.

The model’s builder, I’ve also thought, was unconsiously impacted by the Bigfoot in Harry and the Hendersons.

Side issue:
This model has a distinctly lighter-colored beard. Was the intention to create something out of Mark Hall’s ‘Marked Hominid’ category? I would think that it matches that description rather than the Nothwest coast/’Patty’ sort of Sasquatch.
Was it based on reports that included the lighter-colored beard as a feature?

“Christensen’s Bigfoot” makes sense, but that is a distractingly long name for which anyone would trip over it in trying to say it or pronouce it too many times.

Keep trying..

I like the name Crypto myself, but wasn’t that the name of Superman’s dog? (Spelled with a K, of course.)

How about naming it for the artist?

Or Perhaps ‘The Traveler’s Bigfoot,’ for it’s travels?
