#hoobiyee

I was approached by Owl Magazine (@owlkidspublishing) to create an illustration and a border design (second image) for their 4-page Hoobiyee spread! This was very exciting to be a part of and it has gotten me pumped to celebrate Hoobiyee, which is coming up soon! The illustration features the raven, orca, wolf, and eagle looking up at the moon.

Big thanks to @ketchikanmuseums for the alder and the studio away from my studio! Finished carving and hollowing out my child Moon mask for Hoobiyee 2018 as we begin our new year I’m making the intangible, tangible by exercising my Gitsonk power and asking the universe to bless us with little ones. The universe loves it when we state our intentions and claim it! So my Naksu @miqueldangeli and I are claiming it! Can’t wait to finish this mask up and someday soon our little One will dance this. Prayers please! #alaskanative #bcfirstnations #alder #carvers #firstnations #firstnationsart #nisgaa #nisgaaart #tsimshian #tsimshianart #tsetsaut #tsetsautart #ketchikan #ketchikanalaska #ketchikanak #totemheritagecenter #teamdangeli #westcoast #westcoastart #hoobiyee #newyear #nisgaanewyear (at Totem Heritage Center)
