When Sias was announced as a new Team MVP member for the 2019 Disc Golf season, I simply reached out to him to see if there was any interest in collaborating on a 2019 tour fundraiser stamp. Sias’s nickname is “Siasquatch” so I felt like with my experiences with Sasquatch/ Bigfoot stamps in the past, that this would be a perfect fit.

Sias is from Campbell, California and learned how to play disc golf in the infamous Redwood Curtain. I’ve personally never seen these trees up close in real life, but the sheer scale and volume of these trees is really inspirational. I wanted to set the scene of the stamp within this forest.

A few design decisions came quickly after: If I want to show the massive scale of Redwoods but the typical size of a Sasquatch… There essentially isn’t going to be any redwoods to show. The scale of those trees are so massive, they’ll take up too much space in the stamp. The other design decision:

So what’s the scale of Sasquatch? How do I put both into the same scene?

Luckily, Sias embodies a few features that really allows me to pull this design off. He’s definitely not vertically challenged. Sias is close to 6’ 5 at 270 lbs and is touring Pro that shoots 1000+ rated disc golf. Tweaking the scale of a typical Sasquatch to a giant is well within the confines of Sias as a person. This fit and essentially what made this idea stick out against all of the rest.

It was an honor doing a stamp for Sias. If you’re looking to support Sias and his touring efforts, please reach out to him via Facebook or Instagram. I’m sure he’ll make sure to take care of you. I wish him well with the rest of the 2019 touring season.
