BIG FOOT
Bigfoot is a California Bay Area based nature loving artist,and has
> been a major influence in the skateboard industry for more than a
> decade. Originally from New Jersey ,young Bigfoot fled to California
> to be closer to big trees.Disassociated from art school and human
> society, in 1994 he started writing ?Bigfoot? in the streets of San
> Francisco with relentless fury.Working often with house paint and
> wooden panels ,his work depicts the conflict between the respect for
> nature held by the artist?s cast of Bigfoot characters and the
> destructive agenda of mankind. Despite his reclusive nature, Bigfoot
> has managed to stay active in society ,designing skateboard graphics
> and footwear,showing in galleries in America and Japan,the release
> of his vinyl figure with Strangeco in 2004,and more recently his
> collaborations with The North Face and Hurley.His eponymous
> character and his love of heavy metal and especially the masked rock
> group KISS,play a major role in his studio work as well as his
> highly recognized street art.
