– Sasquatch and UFOs gambol freely, entering and exiting this dimension. They appear friendly. “I think that they show, if they exist, that there’s evidence of another way of being on this planet that can be just as fulfilling. They’re all about love. If we humans can learn to love each other, it will break down the wall between us and Sasquatch, and they’ll reveal themselves. It’s a good positive message.”
As Jacques said, he doesn’t mind people thinking he’s crazy. But is he, and are other Sasquatch buffs, bonkers? Or are the rest of us nuts for staying blind to our gentle neighbours in the woods, our interspecies, interdimensional, psychic cousins who might hold the keys to getting us out of the giant mess we’ve made on our shared planet? Believe what you want. I’m rooting for Jacques, and the Sasquatch people.

THE BIGFOOT WIZARD: Painting by Powell River artist Catnip, December 2018.
Catnip smelled Sasquatch, probably PRL • Why Sasquatch? Catnip • The Sasquatch people invoke an earthly mysticism that is important to this time of planetary awareness. PRL • Have you ever encountered a Sasquatch? Catnip • Once I was in the forest and I could smell this very pungent body odour type smell and kept hearing whooping in the near distance, branches and shrubbery moving. Not sure if it was a member of the Sasquatch people but there was a certain feeling in the forest that day. I was just 16. PRL • What does Sasquatch represent to you? Why are they important in 2019? Catnip • They represent a world unknown to common mankind. They are
important to 2019 because they remind us it’s time to step up as stewards of the land here on Planet Earth, making a call to clean up our countless messes and find balance with nature. PRL • Why do you think they’re having a moment here? Catnip • I think they have put out a call to humanity to remember our deeper origins and psychic inner nature. PRL • What do you hope locals glean from your work featuring Sasquatch? Catnip • I hope from this theme locals can acknowledge the wizardry of the Sasquatch and distance themselves from the idea that Sasquatch people are some simplistic, animalistic unaware species. Listen to the stones, speak to the trees. The time for conscious creation is upon us.
