Just before the dreaded Covid 19 appeared and took over the planet I got involved in the donut business with my son. Sasquatch Donuts in Port Angeles, Wa. We bought an existing donut place that wasn’t doing well and set about making the donuts great … and just 2 months in the Covid thing happened. Frigg’n timing sucked.
I ended up working there doing customer service, which was NOT the original plan. Did it until the end of September 2022, which btw I can say was so far overall the worst and hardest year of my life, and because most people around me happened to have been very self-absorbed and self-centered in general I had no back. Oh how frigg’n fun. (That was sarcasm)
Anyways… my customer service experience gave me a new appreciation for those who do that work, but I’m sticking to art.
Sliding into 2023 I am not connected with Sasquatch Donuts at all. I signed over all my share of ownership to my son in 2022 and am out of there.
I do still love donuts though. Just eating them, not selling… and I much prefer the freshly made real deal than the bulk frozen months old thawed out crud they sell in the bakeries of the large grocery stores and the like.
My reason for this donut blabber is more to do with sasquatch as a brand. I live in the Pacific Northwest and Sasquatch is a big thing here. Sasquatch Donuts is a cool thing.
and…
This is the first sasquatch tattoo I’ve done since leaving sasquatch donuts.
It is a small tattoo, just 4″ in height. The inside is a Pacific Northwest theme meant to represent this area. The guy who got it was from here, but lives elsewhere now. A homage to his hometown of Port Angeles and the surrounding area. Hills, trees, mountains, an exaggerated version of a particular type of night sky we sometimes get her, and just to make sure everyone knows it (and sasquatch) are a super serious subject we included a tiny cartoonish spaceship.
So, that is the end of this post. If you ever go sasquatch hunting in the PNW watch out for aliens. We’ve got those as well.
