Hey everyone!

Hey Steemit, I just joined this wonderful community and I think it's time to debunk a lot of the rumors out there about me. Yes, I’ve seen the reports over the years (I do have a TV y'know) I have to say the accounts of what I look like are a real hoot! I mean seriously people, how can you possibly tell your local news station how tall I am or how big my feet are when you're practically running and screaming from me in fear most of the time. All I want to do is say hi and shake your hand, is that asking too much? Actually, here are some sketches I did of my bro. Well, he's not actually my "bro," he's just a lifelong friend. The rest of the forest animals think he's my bro because we look so much alike. What do ya think? He's a real funny fella, always playing hide and seek and stuff. I also think those art classes I took last Summer really paid off, wouldn't you agree?

But seriously, I'm a pretty nice guy and I've made some great friends over the years. Here's some proof if you don't believe me. These two lovely humans are Maude and Bill. We met a couple of years ago, when I accidentally bumped into Bill at his RV site. Like everyone else, he tried to run from me but realized it was pretty difficult to get very far. I told him it must be those terrible shoes he wears. In retrospect though, I guess it was meant to be. These two have been visiting my forest every time they travel. They're like family to me now. Maude is even teaching me how to use her new Polaroid camera. She tells me all the kids these days are using them for their Steemit profile photos.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Check out their cool ride.

You're still here? I guess you really do want to see what I look like. I have to warn you, I'm pretty handsome. Well, here I am!

Told ya.... and for all the ladies out there.... I'm single!

Now let's talk about some real estate. Yup, you can admit it... your jealous. Ok, I know it's a forest, but look at that giant lake smack right in the middle. I mean seriously could you ask for anything better? You could pee and take a bath at the same time, total score.

Unfortnately, I'm not the only one who thinks Lake Spottabigfoot is the greatest place on Earth. This is Zeke. He's a local that hates tourists as much as I think he hates me sometimes. Between you and me, I don't think he ever got over that time I mistakenly thought his pickup truck was a bathroom. Yeah it was pretty messy when he jumped into his driver seat that day without looking. But hey, can you really blame me for that?

Welp, there you have it. Now when you see a special report about me or my forest friends, you'll know if it's fake news or not. I hear that's a politics thing, whatever politics are...

Ok gotta go, I hear Zeke has left his truck unlocked again. So until next time... to all of you out there in the Steemit verse from our little slice of pie out here in the woods, tootles from Lake Spottabigfoot!!!

Welcome to the community @bobmacneilart! I just checked out your web site your work is amazing. Didn't realize I had seen some of it before (SNL). I especially love your Howard the Duck on Monet's Bridge. The Bigfoot game art looks really cool as well. Definitely look forward to seeing much more from you. Lots of help around to help you figure out the site, like the Newbie Resteem Initiative.
I am also a curator for a group that likes to recognize exceptional content on the site. It generally comes with a nice upvote and can get you some attention on the site. I will definitely be following you and waiting for the right post to curate. The only catch is, it has to be original to SteemIt, and I am sure you will be sharing lots of your past work. Once you share somethng brand new I will gladly submit it for curation though. I am always a sucker for "process" posts and videos, so if you could make something new on those lines I (and many others) would love it!

Again, welcome to the community!

thanks for the compliments on my work @randomwanderings. I definitely plan to share some work that you like to feature. I just have to find the time to get to it. I'm curious where you curated group is, I'd love to see some of the past work you've recognized...

Welcome @bobmacneilart. I love the artwork. Gorgeous characters with, well, real character. Really drew me in and made me smile. Great intro post. I will be following for more!

good to hear @talltuk, I will do my best to keep my posts interesting!

I love your art style and humor, both are very unique.

Welcome to steemit, I hope you enjoy it here.
