That was cute.

 

Thanks. I began to think "Whoever did those has waaay too much free time." Then I got down to the comments section. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much free time! Check out the first one, a diatribe on how the drawings are racist.

 

Boy those tweeters sure like to piss on one another !

I guess everyone is entitled to their opinion though.....

 

I had to stop reading the comments. There can be a pretty good discussion as to how native artists should/should not deal with cultural change, traditional vs. non-traditional....but this sure wasn't it.

I visited the Museum of Northwest Art in La Conner WA over the weekend; their current exhibition is "Not Vanishing: Contemporary Expressions in Indigenous Art, 1977-2015"
Some of the art I liked, a lot of it I didn't; some of the artists seem to have confused "making a statement" with "making art" in my opinion. But at least the curators are thinking, not just spouting opinions and diatribes.

 

Try this on for size....a Tlingit artists design.....



& she's a cutie too !!!!

Spock would be proud....

 

Steve, not sure if you saw the message I sent you? I'd love to get your help with something.
