mstreck Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 This has been bugging me for a while... What IS that avatar of yours? Mike Petting Hendrix Do you know what it's like to fall in the mud and get kicked in the head by an iron boot? Of course you don't--no one does--that never happens.

Originally posted by bluestrat: "Hey Kev," "What's with the Alaskan/Northwest thingy for your avatar? What is it?" Originally posted by Cactus Mike: "...it kinda looks like a skateboard to me..." http://www.stoningtongallery.com/images/season_icon.gif (Click on the pic) It's some very cool Native American-styled painted sculpture by Jean Ferrier, "Dark Matter of the Universe" (red cedar, acrylic; 19" x 2" x 63"h, $5,200. I won't be buying it any time soon...) from the collection at the Stonington Gallery. (It's also my first attempt at an off-Forum avatar image, as I fiddle around and figure out how to do some of these things.) I originally came across this when doing searches for things related to various writers in Guitar Player magazine, and one of the artists represented at the Stonington Gallery- a particularly gifted artist and craftsman, I might add- was also named Art Thompson. (A cedar-chest by Art Thompson) http://www.stoningtongallery.com/artists/images/at_po_chest5.jpg Now I want to find stuff rooted in Iroquois/Six Nations/Northeastern Native American traditions and culture, as I live here.

Tedster Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 The art of the Haida and Tlingit (pronounced "klinkit") cultures is fascinating. I had the good fortune to visit the Totem Museum in Ketchikan, Alaska. WOW. Cool stuff. I remember being a very young child and being awed by the totem poles at the Smithsonian. Good design for a guitar! A totem guitar!!! Wow...good idea, Caveman! "Cisco Kid, was a friend of mine" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
