I call this drawing "Old Eyes", which is of an ancient totem pole in Ketchikan, Alaska, known as the Chief Johnson Totem Pole. I absolutely love the art of the native Alaskans. This totem pole is actually a replica built in 1989 to replace the original totem which was built in 1901. It stands just outside of the entrance of Creek Street, which is a notorious boardwalk, suspended above the creek of the same name, where the "ladies of negotionable affection" plied their trade. The various entities depicted in painted wood on the towering totem pole tell the story of a family from the area. Imagine what these "old eyes" have seen...
Available in Canvas, Metal, and Acrylic Prints
All prints are available as a Handcrafted Custom Framed Print - I love custom orders!
Any print can be combined with a handcrafted, custom hardwood frame with or without a companion mat board.
Pictured are three styles of handcrafted moulding I currently produce, but I'm always open to new ideas and always working on my own new framing concepts.
Art Deco Mahogany: Any species of light colored wood with the rough bark left intact on the sides. I add Art Deco corner devices, and a high-gloss Mahogany finish. A unique contrast between the rough bark and the high-gloss finish for an intriguing presentation.
Art Deco Cherry w/Black Walnut: These frames are made from Cherry, which darkens over time, and uses Art Deco corner devices made of Black Walnut in varying arrangements.
Black Walnut: This Black Walnut moulding is clean, elegant and minimal, setting off the artwork nicely.
Although printed mat boards are one of my trademarks, the mat may also be clear of imagery and in its pristene condition.
Finally, I use anti-reflective, UV-resistent, museum-quality glass or acrylic to cover and protect my prints.
