Sasquatch. They say he’s a master of disguise.

...there was some Sasquatch art that I was going to use for this post, but I can’t find it.

No Post Today

So something or other about the Sasquatch, that legendary Canadian ape which many say doesn’t even exist, would have made a decent post today. That was what I thought.

Now I’m starting to think they are right: Sasquatch doesn’t exist.

Tribute Post Ruined

Lately I’ve been doing posts to honor some of my friends here at Steemit, various little bits of art and some kind of... something.

That’s the problem. The art for this one has vanished, and just like Sasquatch, there's no photo, and now nobody will even believe that I drew anything at all.

An Insane Challenge

It was a lofty goal, the particular tribute post that I was creating the Sasquatch drawing for. I’ve never even been to Canada, and drawing Sasquatch for the post was intensely challenging.

Here’s the thing: I was trying my hand at creating some digital art as part of a tribute post, but had limited myself to using only real colored paper, colored pencils, and a couple of paint pens and markers. Then I was going to take a picture of the drawing with a real digital camera, which technically makes it digital art, I think.

It Was Going to be Epic, But Now...

I was trying for a sort of Dali Gone Ape thing, a mind-bending eye-gasmic sensation with a simian theme-- the tribute called for such-- and I guess I got lucky and drew the big ape, because no sooner had I gone to fetch my Canadian dictionary to look up ’Sasquatch’ for my tribute article, the sneaky hair man took off-- presumably headed back to the Northern wilderness, called back to the Land o Lakes by some ice hole, and like an ice hole, has left me sitting cold, because now there’s no art left to use.

[Here’s Where That Art Probably Would Have Gone, If That Sneaky Sasquatch Had Stayed Put]

Untitled; it seems that All Of The Names Had Been Taken

That Sasquatch really is good at hiding. Maybe I’ll find him here in the studio eventually, but without that colossal Canuck, that tribute post is kapoot. (a Canadian word meaning ‘fucked’) I’ll keep searching, like everyone else I guess, searching for the elusive Sasquatch. I was hoping to skip that part, it feels so common these days. This post was going to be different.

Meanwhile, I’d like to apologize that there’s no post today, the Sasquatch got away, and with no art to write about, I can only hope that the artist Himself will understand how his tribute post was ruined by that big stinking ape.
