An update on forearm tattoo design. I thought about the tattoo artist’s remark that it looked like a knife so I took another shot and made that shape more explicit. The three line mark along the blade can be blood. I put in the Cayuga word for “sharp” on the handle as a bit of callout to when my ancestor, who survived the residential school system, later in life carved sharp knife onto his carpenters toolbox. His own little bit of resistance. #nativeart #tattoo

Lighting is soft, highlighting the textures surface. The composition is centered, focusing on the mask's expression.

Beau sent me an update photo of the #DugoutCanoe that some students at Wellington high school in #Nanaimo are working to help carve. It is coming along so beautifully!

He is off work from public schools this Summer & is open for #CoastSalish #ArtCommissions.

Medium shot of a carved, unfinished wooden dugout cedar canoe. The canoe is the primary focus, positioned horizontally in the foreground and running the length of the picture. The ground is splattered with wood shavings. The background includes a picnic table on the left with a log laid across it, plants, and a modern building with reflective windows. The lighting is overcast, with cool tones dominating the scene. The composition emphasizes the craftsmanship of the canoe against the backdrop of a contemporary school environment.

Close-up of a Indigenous Coast Salish handcrafted, expressive wooden mask resting on a wood surface. The mask has a rounded face, stylized features with eye-holes and an open mouth. Black painted sections accent the edges, and a round piece of abalone shell is embedded at the center top. The wood grain is clearly visible, suggesting a natural finish.

Hair comb #nativeart #digitalart

Just read this piece on how a modern day Seneca jewelry maker found an ancient piece of antler bone and decided to carve a Haudenosaunee design on it to make a hair comb. That inspired me to create my own abstract rendering using two of my favorite animals - turtle and raven.

Being on the back burner since 2023, I'm currently remastering a comic I made in 2012 (text and some visual overhauls) that was my senior project before graduation back then. Here's a preview of said comic's first panel. #Art #Comics #IndigenousArt #IndigenousComics #NativeArt #NativeComics #Preview
