Four things that go great together



SirMitchell of Etsy joins the ranks of the most wise and forthright among us who dare to make yeti the subject of their art and t-shirt designs.

This one illustrates "a yeti, a unicorn, a moped, and the open road...".

Sir Mitchell has our admiration and our hearts. And look closely to see a tie fighter decal on the moped. Bless you, SirM, bless you.

Not Yeti Friday - Bigfoot Walking His Dog

A reader named Spencer has been sending me some excellent yeti links.

He sent me a link to this great t-shirt. It looks like yeti, but it's actually based on an original painting by Christopher Bonnette aka macula which depicts Bigfoot nervously walking his dachsund, which he originally posted to his blog:



Macula is a bona fide yeti lover. He made this paper toy and has done some great concept art. For all of his yeti lovin', go here!

I don't know about you, but I think there should be more imagery depicting yeti and their dogs. There is a great dearth of such things.


Thanks, Spencer!

ittichips Yeti



Etsy artist ittichips made this painting.

I commend the artist for his excellent decision to give the yeti a hat.

Biggest Yeti News



Gama-Go put on sale their big yeti figurine! It got huge Internet exposure and sold out within a day or two.

Wish I'd had an extra $100 around to afford this bad boy. Very rad.

Heaps Yeti



Joe Heaps Nelson drew "Yeti Crocker" a couple years ago. Fuse Gallery, NYC has put it on tour with the "Draw" exhibit.

He also did another piece, which was a collage, about yetis wanting to dye their hair blond.
