Beau Monde Bust of Bigfoot
Posted by: Loren Coleman on June 10th, 2007
Want to get your hands around this beautiful bewitching bust of Bigfoot?
Looking for a gift for Father’s Day? For Graduation Day? For a birthday for that ultimate cryptozoologist-in-training? Or the unforgettable present for a June wedding or summer baby shower?
You may wish to pick up one of these limited editions of the bust (they are solid, resin, and seven pounds heavy) of the Crookston Bigfoot?
The same artist Curtis Christensen, who made the Crookston Bigfoot, decided to hand-craft a few busts, and hand-paint each one, making no two exactly alike.
From this…Christensen with his creation…
…to the Bigfoot on my porch…
…the creator began to craft a new piece of art…
and what issued forth was a small herd of Bigfoot busts, a rare and endangered flock or herd, with individual busts now awaiting being in the collections of the true collectors and Bigfoot museums around the world.
This item is something you will need to directly email Curtis Christensen about, at hickhill {@} mwt.net
His is a serious piece of art, and is not a figure or toy. He, therefore, is selling it for a serious price ($79.99 + shipping, depending upon your UPS zone) to serious collectors. Write Christensen directly. He will send you a PayPal invoice or whatever other arrangements you wish to arrange with him. Please do not email me, as I have nothing to do with this bust, other than owning his eight-feet-tall art piece – see above – upon which the bust is based.
I wanted to share this new item and opportunity with my readers, as one thing is for sure, I wish my parents had given me one of these when I was 12! Or a lover had grabbed something like this for me when I turned 40! Or 50! LOL.
About Loren Coleman
Loren Coleman is one of the world’s leading cryptozoologists, some say “the” leading living cryptozoologist. Certainly, he is acknowledged as the current living American researcher and writer who has most popularized cryptozoology in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Starting his fieldwork and investigations in 1960, after traveling and trekking extensively in pursuit of cryptozoological mysteries, Coleman began writing to share his experiences in 1969. An honorary member of Ivan T. Sanderson’s Society for the Investigation of the Unexplained in the 1970s, Coleman has been bestowed with similar honorary memberships of the North Idaho College Cryptozoology Club in 1983, and in subsequent years, that of the British Columbia Scientific Cryptozoology Club, CryptoSafari International, and other international organizations. He was also a Life Member and Benefactor of the International Society of Cryptozoology (now-defunct).
Loren Coleman’s daily blog, as a member of the Cryptomundo Team, served as an ongoing avenue of communication for the ever-growing body of cryptozoo news from 2005 through 2013. He returned as an infrequent contributor beginning Halloween week of 2015.
Coleman is the founder in 2003, and current director of the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine.
Is there any way to ‘retire’ the pic of you (Loren) in front of the statue? I see it on the internet about as much as I see Paris Hilton on TV. It’s just too much!
That bigfoot bust looks strangely like Lee Marvin in his later days.
Obviously, ddh, you must be hanging out at all the good sites like over at Boing Boing today!
Not sure how I feel about being compared to Paris Hilton. 🙂
Of course, if I had her money, besides funding research for cryptozoological researchers worldwide, I’d buy all of these great busts of the Crookston Bigfoot. Then I’d have a contest at Cryptomundo to give them away to the most passionate readers.
Christensen’s take on Bigfoot is interesting. It is more human than apelike. I wonder what his theory is. Bigfoot is a feral human? A hybrid of somesort?
I now think Bigfoot is a Norseman!
Looks awesome, I hope to get one soon.
I have the same question as jerrywayne.
I’m given to understand that the sasquatch has a wide variety of facial appearances. They seem to center on a mean I once heard described, by an eyewitness, as just on the human side of halfway between a human and a gorilla. (She saw the face at a distance of about eight feet.) This doesn’t look like the mean.
What was the artist’s inspiration? (I really think that Lyndon may be right about Lee Marvin. He wasn’t far off that mean. 😀 )
Maybe he could come on here and enlighten us. The pretext is there; I mean, it’s as ubiquitous on the web as P/G. And I agree with our first poster. It looks just like Paris Hilton.
Or whatever he said. 😉
I also need to add this: posing the big guy next to a can of diet cola is about on a level with declaring an open, all-sesson, any-weapon hunting season on him.
Please. At the very least a bottle of Rainier!
WELL, Being that NO ONE has yet to find a Sasquatch (dead or alive), we must ask ourselves, does my Crookston Bigfoot Bust look like Lee Marvin, OR, does Lee Marvin just look like a Bigfoot?
Bigfoot as Lee Marvin? Well, look at a photo or drawing of the “Minnesota Iceman” and tell me: is that not Lon Chaney Jr. in mid-transformation as The Wolfman?!
Purchased #10. Don’t even believe in Bigfoot, but I love it. An excellent piece of cryptozoology art and worth the price.
