In a recent episode of the Sasquatch Outpost Podcast, host and Bigfoot enthusiast welcomed special guest Dave Eller, a seasoned researcher of mysteries and monsters with over 30 years of experience. Dave has hunted for cryptids in the U.S, Canada, the Yucatan, Europe, and Scotland, and his first Bigfoot investigation was in 1973 in Mercy Murfreesboro, Illinois. One interesting fact about Dave is that he started a western-themed children's show called Cactus Jack's Roundup, which he wrote, produced, directed, edited, and starred in. He also wrote and performed the theme song for the show. Dave is an award-winning artist known for his limited edition serigraphs, a type of print made using a stencil process. During the podcast, Dave shared his experiences and encounters with the paranormal, including his investigation of the tunnels inside one of the pyramids of the Yucatan. He also discussed his plans to create the largest and most informative Bigfoot museum in the world, which will include displays on Yeti, Yowie, and other cryptids from around the world. In addition to his cryptid research, Dave is also a root beer connoisseur and has created his own brand of old-fashioned root beer called Bigfoot Brew. He sells out every time he has it at a conference and enjoys signing the bottles for fans. The conversation then turned to the topic of land prices in Tennessee, where Dave is hoping to build the museum. He mentioned that the land prices have skyrocketed due to the influx of people moving to the state. Despite the challenges, Dave remains optimistic and is looking forward to a soft opening in 2024.

And for those who are curious about the process of creating a serigraph, here's a brief explanation: Serigraphy is a stencil-based printing process where ink is forced through a mesh screen onto a surface, creating a layered and textured image. The process allows for a high degree of control and detail, making it a popular choice for limited edition prints and artworks. Each color in the image is printed separately, requiring a separate stencil and screen, which adds to the time and cost of production. Despite these challenges, serigraphy remains a popular and respected printing technique in the art world.
