I FINALLY got to update my Wendigo. The body was bothering me, and with a new body came a few things that I needed to update thanks to clipping. It still occasionally clips, but nothing that can't be shrugged off as a ragged old outfit.

About Dr. Takeshi Yamada:
Educator, medical assistant, author and artist Takeshi Yamada was born and raised at a traditional and respectable house of samurai in Osaka, Japan in 1960. He studied art at Nakanoshima College of Art in Osaka, Japan. As an international exchange student of Osaka Art University, he moved to the United States in 1983 and studied art at the California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland, CA and Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, MD in 1983-85, and completed his Bachelor of Fine Art degree in 1985.
Yamada obtained his Master of Fine Art Degree in 1987 at the University of Michigan, School of Art in Ann Arbor, MI. Yamada’s “Visual Anthropology Artworks” reflects unique, distinctive and often quickly disappearing culture around him. In 1987, Yamada moved to Chicago, and by 1990, Yamada successfully fused Eastern and Western visual culture and variety of cross-cultural mythology in urban allegories, and he became a major figure of the River North (“SUHU” district) art scene. During that time he also developed a provocative media persona and established his unique style of super-realism paintings furnishing ghostly images of people and optically enhanced pictorial structures. By 1990, his artworks were widely exhibited internationally. In 2000, Yamada moved to New York City.
Today, he is highly media-featured and internationally famed for his “rogue taxidermy” sculptures and large-scale installations, which he calls “specimens” rather than “artworks”. He also calls himself “super artist” and “gate keeper” rather than the “(self-expressing) artist“. His passion for Cabinet of Curiosities started when he was in kindergarten, collecting natural specimens and built his own Wunderkammer (German word to express “Cabinet of Curiosities“). At age eight, he started creating “rogue taxidermy monsters” such as two-headed lizards, by assembling different parts of animal carcasses.
Internationally, Yamada had over 600 major fine art exhibitions including 50 solo exhibitions including Spain, The Netherlands, Japan, Canada, Columbia, and the United States. Yamada also taught classes and made public speeches at over 40 educational institutions including American Museum of Natural History, Louisiana State Museum, Laurenand Rogers Museum of Art, International Museum of Surgical Science, University of Minnesota, Montana State University, Eastern Oregon University, Illinois Institute of Technology, Mount Vernon Nazarene College, Salem State College, Osaka College of Arts, Chemeketa Community College, Maryland Institute College of Art, etc. Yamada’s artworks are collection of over 30 museums and universities in addition to hundreds of corporate/private art collectors internationally. Yamada and his artworks were featured in over 400 video websites. In addition, rogue taxidermy artworks, sideshow gaffs, cryptozoological artworks, large sideshow banners and showfronts created by Yamada in the last 40 years have been exhibited at over 100 of state fairs and festivals annually nationwide, up to and including the present.
Yamada won numerous prestigious awards and honors i.e., “International Man of the Year”, “Outstanding Artists and Designers of the 20th Century”, “2000 Outstanding Intellectuals of the 21st Century”, “International Educator of the Year”, “One Thousand Great Americans”, “Outstanding People of the 20th Century”, “21st Century Award for Achievement”, “Who’s Who in America” and “Who’s Who in The World”. The Mayors of New Orleans, Louisiana and Gary, Indiana awarded him the “Key to the City”. Yamada’s artworks are collections of many museums and universities/colleges i.e., Louisiana State Museum, New Orleans Museum of Art, University of Michigan Museum of Art, Chicago Athenaeum Museum, Eastern Oregon University, Montana State University and Ohio State University.

Rockglen's ex. Pool elevator stands tall, and Columbus Hill stands even taller behind it.
What was probably my favorite town I visited on this trip, Rockglen is home to "Zoobey", a local cryptid tale of a large, sasquatch like figure who lurks around town terrorizing wildlife and people alike. According to legend, Zoobey lives atop the hill behind the elevator. Maybe he was watching me as I took this photo. Oh, and he apparently reeks to high heaven.
I do wish I was able to find a different angle to shoot this, with more of the hills in the background. I have seen other people's work from here and I know there's some other vantage point for that, buuuuut it was getting late in the day and I was reallllllly wanted to get to Assiniboia for dinner. Next time.

Who knew there were Yeti and Bigfoot style creatures in Illinois? The vintage men's adventure magazines knew, or at least the stories in them climed they existed. We selected some of our favorite men's adventure mag stories about Bigfoot, Sasquatch, the Abominable Snowman (aka the Yeti),, the Loch Ness Monster and other legendary creatures for our forthcoming CRYPTOZOOLOGY ANTHOLOGY. More about it here -

PROMPT:

About Dr. Takeshi Yamada:
Educator, medical assistant, author and artist Takeshi Yamada was born and raised at a traditional and respectable house of samurai in Osaka, Japan in 1960. He studied art at Nakanoshima College of Art in Osaka, Japan. As an international exchange student of Osaka Art University, he moved to the United States in 1983 and studied art at the California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland, CA and Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, MD in 1983-85, and completed his Bachelor of Fine Art degree in 1985.
Yamada obtained his Master of Fine Art Degree in 1987 at the University of Michigan, School of Art in Ann Arbor, MI. Yamada’s “Visual Anthropology Artworks” reflects unique, distinctive and often quickly disappearing culture around him. In 1987, Yamada moved to Chicago, and by 1990, Yamada successfully fused Eastern and Western visual culture and variety of cross-cultural mythology in urban allegories, and he became a major figure of the River North (“SUHU” district) art scene. During that time he also developed a provocative media persona and established his unique style of super-realism paintings furnishing ghostly images of people and optically enhanced pictorial structures. By 1990, his artworks were widely exhibited internationally. In 2000, Yamada moved to New York City.
Today, he is highly media-featured and internationally famed for his “rogue taxidermy” sculptures and large-scale installations, which he calls “specimens” rather than “artworks”. He also calls himself “super artist” and “gate keeper” rather than the “(self-expressing) artist“. His passion for Cabinet of Curiosities started when he was in kindergarten, collecting natural specimens and built his own Wunderkammer (German word to express “Cabinet of Curiosities“). At age eight, he started creating “rogue taxidermy monsters” such as two-headed lizards, by assembling different parts of animal carcasses.
Internationally, Yamada had over 600 major fine art exhibitions including 50 solo exhibitions including Spain, The Netherlands, Japan, Canada, Columbia, and the United States. Yamada also taught classes and made public speeches at over 40 educational institutions including American Museum of Natural History, Louisiana State Museum, Laurenand Rogers Museum of Art, International Museum of Surgical Science, University of Minnesota, Montana State University, Eastern Oregon University, Illinois Institute of Technology, Mount Vernon Nazarene College, Salem State College, Osaka College of Arts, Chemeketa Community College, Maryland Institute College of Art, etc. Yamada’s artworks are collection of over 30 museums and universities in addition to hundreds of corporate/private art collectors internationally. Yamada and his artworks were featured in over 400 video websites. In addition, rogue taxidermy artworks, sideshow gaffs, cryptozoological artworks, large sideshow banners and showfronts created by Yamada in the last 40 years have been exhibited at over 100 of state fairs and festivals annually nationwide, up to and including the present.
Yamada won numerous prestigious awards and honors i.e., “International Man of the Year”, “Outstanding Artists and Designers of the 20th Century”, “2000 Outstanding Intellectuals of the 21st Century”, “International Educator of the Year”, “One Thousand Great Americans”, “Outstanding People of the 20th Century”, “21st Century Award for Achievement”, “Who’s Who in America” and “Who’s Who in The World”. The Mayors of New Orleans, Louisiana and Gary, Indiana awarded him the “Key to the City”. Yamada’s artworks are collections of many museums and universities/colleges i.e., Louisiana State Museum, New Orleans Museum of Art, University of Michigan Museum of Art, Chicago Athenaeum Museum, Eastern Oregon University, Montana State University and Ohio State University.
Yamada was profiled in numerous TV programs in the United States, Japan and Philippine, Columbia, i.e., A&E History Channel, Brooklyn Cable Access Television, “Chicago’s Very Own” in Chicago, “Takeshi Yamada’s Divine Comedy” in New Orleans, and Chicago Public Television’s Channel ID. Yamada also published 22 books based on his each major fine art projects i.e., “Homage to the Horseshoe Crab”, Medical Journal of the Artist”, “Graphic Works 1996-1999”, “Phantom City”, “Divine Comedy”, “Miniatures”, “Louisville”, “Visual Anthropology 2000”, “Heaven and Hell”, “Citizen Kings” and “Dukes and Saints” in the United States. In prints, Yamada and his artworks have been featured in numerous books, magazine and newspapers internationally i.e., The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Time out New York (full page color interview), Washington Times, The Fine Art Index, New American Paintings, Village Voice 9full page interview), Chicago Art Scene (front cover), Chicago Tribune Magazine (major color article), Chicago Japanese American News, Strong Coffee, Reader, Milwaukee Journal, Clarion, Kaleidoscope, Laurel Leader-Call, The Advertiser News, Times-Picayune (front page, major color articles), Michigan Alumnus (major color article), Michigan Today (major color article), Mardi Gras Guide (major color article), The Ann Arbor News (front covers), Park Slope Courier (color pages), 24/7 (color pages), Brooklyn Free Press (front cover) and The World Tribune.

Commentary.
Spring in the Highlands.
South-West from Dores beach this image shows nearly the whole length of Loch Ness.
It certainly shows twenty of the twenty-five miles of its length
from Fort Augustus to Abban Water and Loch Dochfour.
The two-hundred-mile fault line of which it is a part, extending from the north part of the Moray Firth to Ireland, reaches a vertical height of over a mile, when adding the height of Ben Nevis to the depth of Loch Ness.
At Urquhart Bay the chasm created by tectonic movement and subsequent glaciers, reaches two miles in width.
In this view, Urquhart Bay, is seen on the right, just below the snowy heights of Meall-Fhuar Mhonaidh, at 700 metres or 2,300 feet.
The plain rocks and pebbles, the calm waters and the benign ducks contrast dramatically with the metre-high waves, stormy skies and howling gale that a south-westerly gale can bring.
On this day it was no more than a giant mill-pond but in misty conditions, as darkness descends, its mood can become malevolent, sinister and un-nerving.
Whether prehistoric cryptids swim in its murky, peaty waters
or not, it can stir the blood and the imagination.
In this shot, it was a delight.
Peaceful and full of promise, that spring was about to be “sprung.”

Poem.
Caledonian forest – a mature relic of an ice-scoured past,
a water-filled, thousand foot deep chasm, chiselled by the glaciers.
Now mellowed by the garb of heather, fern, gorse and woodland and interspersed increasingly with bare rock as elevation rises.
Islands seemingly floating, soften the image further as they cradle their remnant of the ancient glades.
So nearly joining numerous other arms of the sea as a fjord.
Blocked by a coastal rocky lip, this freshwater lake empties via a two mile, rapid-ridden river into the milky white shell-sand estuary of Morar Bay.
Rumours of cryptids supplement the mystique and wonder of this twelve mile stretch of water.
But detract, not one jot, from its peaceful beauty, warmed by the setting sun.

Great Escape
89 Six Flags Drive,
Queensbury, New York.
Washington County, USA.
(from Wikipedia)
Sasquatch is an S&S Worldwide combo drop tower at Great Escape in Queensbury, New York. It opened on May 10, 2009.
The ride was previously located at Six Flags New Orleans under the names Bayou Blaster and Sonic Slam; after the park closed due to Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the ride was moved to Great Escape. The current name is derived from the cryptid Sasquatch. The ride stands at 192 feet tall.
Ride History
The ride first opened in 2000 as Bayou Blaster and Sonic Slam at a new park called Jazzland. Then Six Flags took over the lease of the park in 2002 and changed the name to Six Flags New Orleans in 2003.
After Hurricane Katrina hit the park on August 29, 2005, the park was severely flooded from the hurricane and has remained closed since. Six Flags decided to relocate several rides, such as Batman: The Ride, which was removed in 2007 and taken to Six Flags Fiesta Texas where it was refurbished and reopened on April 18, 2008 under the new name Goliath.
The Bayou Blaster and the Sonic Slam were dismantled in 2008 and relocated to Great Escape, where the ride was refurbished, repainted, and renamed Sasquatch. The ride was officially opened on May 10, 2009 on the former spot of Rainbow, which closed after the 2007 season.
Ride experience
The ride contains two shafts or towers, a lift tower and a drop tower. On the drop tower, riders are easily brought to the top and then dropped extremely fast down most of it, then brought up not as high, then dropped at the same speed. This continues several more times before the ride ends. On the lift tower, riders are shot to the top in three seconds, then dropped not as fast as the drop tower drops, then brought back up at the same speed, then dropped slowly. This continues until the ride ends like the drop tower.
The correct name for the two towers are Launch and Drop. The Launch Tower shoots passengers over 150 feet (46 m) into the air in 3 seconds and slowly drops them down. The Drop tower launches passengers slowly and drops them in three seconds.

spring was here!

This very rare tree, now considered endangered was cleared out of Australian forests by the turn of the 19th century after being harvested for its fine grained timber and unusual fruits. The fruits were considered a delicacy and exported to England where royalty took a great liking to them. One tree was even transported to Cornwall in England where it is reportedly still fruiting profusely each year.
Just a few trees remain around the country in cooler mountain areas along the east coast from the Daintree National Park to Tasmania although the species did once occur in Subtropical forest on the NSW Mid North Coast. This one here, growing in a private garden at Wheelabarraback on the NSW Mid North Coast, was reportedly cultivated from a fruit consumed by a member of the British Royal family who visited the area in 1972 when there were concerns that the future of the Monarchy was at risk in Australia.
Attempts to bring the species into cultivation as a bush tucker plant have so far had limited commercial success as horticultural researchers have not been able to get a handle on it. Work is however ongoing. This tree is one of the better specimens that I have seen.
The fruits of Teapotea hangiiana were particularly favoured by Drop Bears (Thylarctos plummetus) who feasted on them in mid winter when cold weather meant there was little alternative fruit around.
The fruit had the unusual characteristic of being quite hot on chilly winter mornings around breakfast time and then again around dinner time, hence the derivation of the genus name Teapotea.
Normally the diet of Drop Bears, a closely related species to the Koala (Phascolarctos cinereus), is small and some large species of rhodent like animals with downward facing eyes such as the Wombat (Vombatus ursinus). However the species is now believed to have viciously attacked humans from their homes normally high up in the tree tops. Like the Lyre Bird, researchers believe Drop Bears can distinguish between various sounds such as accents of human voices as they walk in Australia's forests.
To date there have been comparatively few studies done on Drop Bear behaviour and ecology but researchers believe the usual modus operandi is to strategically wait high in trees from where they can precisely drop down onto their victims. The unfortunate victims of these attacks appear to have little if any warning, except for a slight whistling sound as the air passes through their large sabre like teeth as they plummet downwards.
So far no humans attacked by Drop Bears have survived to tell the story and its believed the victims are almost entirely consumed leaving little evidence of the attack.
Wearing forks protruding vertically from a cap on the head and lathering Vegemite or even Marmite or Promite behind the ears are believed by many to be effective deterrents however no reliable evidence is so far available to authenticate this.
A recent study done in Tasmania, where the species there differs slightly from the mainland species in that it has evolved an extra toe and finger, has concluded that Drop Bears target foreign speakers more regularly than cultivated English speakers. This may explain why Queenslanders have been among the statistics more regularly than Victorians for example. Other researchers have however speculated that the lack of attacks on cultivated English speakers could in fact have nothing to do with accents and more to do with the fact that these individuals prefer to use Marmite instead of Vegemite behind the ears as the recommended deterrent.
The people of the Mid North Coast however can rest easy as the last reported Drop Bear attack in the area was in 1888 when the forests of much of the region were lush and impenetrable to all but a hardy bunch of immigrant timber getters. The forests have long since been cleared around many of the Mid North Coastal towns which once boasted some of the best Drop Bear habitat in Australia.
Cryptozoologists who study Cryptids, such as Teapotea hangiiana and Thylarctos plummetus, believe recent sightings of Drop Bears in some remote areas of Barrington Tops National Park, where numbers of Teapotea hangiiana are reportedly recovering well, suggest that Thylarctos plummetus is also not only making a comeback but is evolving into a much larger and more aggressive carnivore possibly owing to recent increases in tourism from non cultivated English speaking nations although it has also been attributed to a significant increase in visitation to the region by nature loving Queenslanders, whose own native wildlife and forests are under extreme pressure from climate change not to mention land clearing and over development.
In another development, field studies are currently being conducted at Barrington Tops in an attempt to determine the critical numbers of the elusive Thylarctos plummetus within Barrington Tops National Park.
Its too early to say yet but based on early reports, some experts are speculating that the NSW species may soon be able to be removed from the critically endangered species lists.
