Kalanoro, Yeti and Lux
Posted by: Loren Coleman on April 10th, 2007
Images of hairy hominoids are popping up in all sorts of places.
Harry Trumbore’s drawing (above) of Africa’s kalanoro, from The Field Guide to Bigfoot and Other Mystery Primates by Loren Coleman and Patrick Huyghe, inspired Peter Loh’s Kalanoro (below) in the Crypto-Man Comix, written by Scott Marlowe.
Wildlife artist Richard Klyver, who spent seven years in Africa, has produced a new series of high-quality tee-shirts. His first one is an excellently accurate drawing of what the Abominable Snowman or Yeti probably looks like, as shown above.
If you want to buy one or more of these limited edition tee-shirts (of which $2.50 is being donated to my research and museum), please remit your funds directly to Mr. Klyver via PayPal, at windigo2 {@} verizon.net. The cost is $20/shirt, which includes domestic postage, for one shirt (sizes S, M, L, XL), with the Abominable Snowman on it. Be sure to include your name and shipping address with your payment. Write him directly via email if you want to find out how to send him a check or money order.
Additionally, I just received a party invitation with a beautifully-designed Bigfoot image on the cover, from the parents of soon-to-be one-year-old Lux (who, of course, is not a Bigfoot but a beloved human child). The card is to a gathering in celebration of Lux’s birth day in the Bay Area. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to attend, but the card will be carefully saved as another significant pop culture example of hominology in modern America.
