Yuyunipitqana is one of the names associated with Smohalla, a Native American Medicine Man of the Shahaptian Wanapum tribe of South Eastern Washington state. He lived in the time of Lewis and Clark. As the Wanapum became overrun by white settlers he taught a return to tribal lifestyles, traditions and beliefs that became the Dreamer Religion.

This picture represents Smohalla as a spirit conjuring traditional ways as represented by the horses. He pulls them up out of the modern landscape and he sees them through the modern ways.

Above the horses heads are the symbols for the mountains and the desert that they lived between, on the Columbia river (shown in the background).

This picture came about via a recent visit to the area. I started drawing what was around me as I learned the story. The early drawings became the lower landscape. The fun lower right with help from Liana :)

Currently there is an on-going massive cleanup in progress of the cold war nuclear reactors on the Columbia. This work drives much of the local economy.

Buffalo Print 3D

click pics to zoom

The idea of making a buffalo print was first suggested by a friend who has buffalo on his ranch in New Mexico. He sent me photos, and the central buffalo in this picture is one of his. But the picture expanded as I researched the story of the American Buffalo, and the handfull of people who saved them from extinction.

This print is from our 2009 European Flatstock adventure. It's a road drawing compilation travel-log of a trip. It goes in and back out as read in a circle in either direction.

In the Hamburg airport I saw a group of college students with fantastic tasseled hats. After making a drawing of the hat, I asked them what the hats represented. They were very friendly and explained that they are a Finnish engineering student's hat called Teekkarilakki. The hat's equally fantastic name became the name of the piece.

Teekkarilakki is the Finnish engineering student's hat since 1895, when it was pointed out that the tassel is very pleasing to women :). This print book is about our European adventures on our show tour of 2009. There is more info on the-one sheet print post adjacent to this post.

This book is designed to have a feeling similar to a pop-up book as each page turned produces another 3D 2-page spread. This was challenging to lay out and to bind so that the shared elements on corresponding pages align to work beautifully within a handmade context.

Stoney Run is a crooked road way out in the boonies of Madison County Kentucky where I lived for a while when I was a kid. The farm was basically a knobby hill that ended in the Kentucky River. My parents bought the the place to increase their "tobacco base", which was actually grown on a much nicer farm. My Mom drove me in to school every day when we lived there, and I have strong memories of learning every song on the AM radio, on those trips. Buck Owens to Tommy James... That little farm seemed 50 years in the past even in those days.

The Participating artists created an art print, as a visual interpretation of a Beatles song of their choice. Each is the artists own response to the song, done in the artists own style, as a limited-edition art print.

This book comes from drawings made while traveling in Europe last summer. First in Denmark with family, which was very peaceful, and later while showing posters at Zstock in Tilburg and Flatstock in Hamburg. It was most fun showing the 3d posters. I like that people really stare into the drawings on the 3d prints ..and say oooh and ahhh! which is great.

When I got back home and began planning out a book of the sketchbook drawings, it made sensto make it a 3d book.
