She brings the fire
Custom zippo lighter featuring kananesgi ama, the water spider, who brought fire to the people in the #cherokee first fire story
Really happy with how this came out, it was so fun to design!

A photo of a brushed chrome zippo lighter with a printed black cherokee water spider design. The spider is facing downward with the fire, represented by a circle with a cross, on her back.

Oh hey, it’s indigenous peoples day!
I’m a reconnecting Cherokee artist working with digital art, printmaking, and clay sculpture and pottery (:

A digital painting of a person standing in front of a Mississippian-style shell gorget. The gorget features an incised design of a panther, which is sharing its head with the headless human figure. The person is pale skinned, wearing a ribbon shirt and clay beads, and holding a Cherokee style pottery bowl with an incised looped design.

A digital illustration done over a photo of a campfire showing an out of place, painted-looking wolf walking at the edge of the firelight, looking across the fire at the viewer. It is backed with a dull red and its breath is visible in a plume from its snout.

A clay raven incense burner, with its open beak pointed up and smoke coming out of it

A woodcut print in black ink depicting a coyote-headed person muzzling their own snarling decapitated head with a wire

“a little Cherokee in me”
I've been struggling to express this critique of both blood quantum and those people who love to claim supposed #Cherokee heritage as a fun lil fact they only bring up when they think it’ll make them look more interesting. It ended up manifesting as this self portrait (1/2)

trespassing 🐾🛑 sticker design until the 30th on my patreon!

#art #indigenousart

a formline design of a wolf, coloured in bright orange. the formline wolf is laid over a few layers of a disjointed scene: a chain-link fence, with a snarling semi-realistic wolf drawn behind it; the top half of a concrete building; and lastly, a dark backdrop showing utility poles and street lights in the distance. a couple lights give off a lens flare.
