bipedalist Posted January 2 BFF Patron Posted January 2 Godaddy has the link to Bigfoot Sketch Project in our recommended websites splash panel as an available for sale website url now. Anyone know what is up with the artist and former owner? I think he did BFF tshirts for us at one time. As best I can determine it is Pete Travers project and the new website is https://www.thepaintedcave.com/img/pete/sasketch/bsp_main.php HTML webpage engineers on the forum might want to make the upgrade if this is in fact verified. 1

The Painted Cave website has been up for years but does not appear to be active in the 'store' category. Pete Travers has been associated with many movies that are listed on his resume. Pete Travers is in the entertainment industry and the sketch project is small potatoes. There is an interesting section on the Painted Cave site labeled "Patterson/Gimlin Film Frame Sketch". The sketch is an overlay to the original but I am not sure what 'original' was used. He added a statement that 'the sketch has no real scientific value'. Recently, there have been digital clown shows modifying the look back image and they have been very bad. Since very few people have had access to the original PGF, I wondered where they found an image to modify. Book cover? Perhaps. Internet with low resolution? Maybe. Without overlaying the overlaid image(s), I guess that Pete's image was pirated and used as the image to trash. 1
bipedalist Posted January 2 BFF Patron Author Posted January 2 (edited) Thanks for the update and verification. Not sure on the PGF, I guess since it has been 57 yrs or so since the event that pirated becomes pretty laissez faire, I think books have a 75 yr copyright period. Not sure on images or videography but copyright renewal would seem to be something to look into after 50 yrs on print media Fair use and creative commons should come into effect with these works at some point. It would be nice or a nice gift if the owners could release to creative commons as they have been in the public domain for a long time. Of course, retirement happens and money doesn't grow on trees. Copyright genie is your friend when in doubt. Or, the US Gov Copyright Office https://vcc.copyright.gov/browse https://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ45.pdf Edited January 2 by bipedalist
wiiawiwb Posted January 11 Posted January 11 Great sketches at the Painted Cave. The best work I've ever seen done was by a member here at BFF called Nightwing. He renditions were simply amazing.
