Legends Of The National Parks: Katmai's Urayuli By Derek Anderson, Joel Anderson, 2004
- Legends Of The National Parks: Katmai's Urayuli
Though they share many similar characteristics with the Bigfoot and Sasquatch creatures, Urayuli are said to be a distinctly different species of cryptid. At home in the southwestern forests and mountains of Alaska, these beasts are also known as “Hairy Men” in most Yupik languages. They are said to be 10 feet tall with long, shaggy fur, luminescent eyes, and long arms that reach down to their ankles. They are reported to emit a high-pitched cry that sounds like a loon. They are known to be peaceful creatures, and some Indigenous storytellers say the Urayuli are actually transformed children who had gotten lost in the woods at night. (This story may have been told to keep children inside at night). Inspired by these old legends and myths (some of which date back to the dawn of civilization), Anderson Design Group poster artists hand-rendered a vintage-styled poster of the mysterious Urayuli legend, an original illustration and retro design crafted in a fashion that’s reminiscent of the golden age of poster art, vintage art, Art Deco, and classic travel illustrations. This iconic monster design is available as a poster print (framed or unframed), canvas, metal sign, mini-canvas, or as a notecard or postcard, including with multiple size options available for prints, canvases, mini-canvases, and metal signs.
