skunk-sekak in menominee. and this is how sekako(chicago) got it's name. place of the skunks. wonder what chicago says the name means? this is the 2nd skunk. the first one sold at a show to a man who wanted one for his bathroom. PERFECT, for a guy.

RANDOM ORATION POST

georgie-napoleon

not gonna do the quote WAY to much typing, but its from PITT, CHATHAM's son, who was the youngest brittish prime minister, thanks farmer for that info.
he is talking about the french revolution(which one?) and napoleon.
like georgie, napoleon egregiously broke treaties left and right. georgie is a little little man. with a little boys penis.
just like napoleon.

roadkill info.

should have said. all are on card stock. 5x6inches and signed and #. the actual print is smaller. i used to shrink wrap them for art shows. too expensive. nobody cares if i stick them in a baggie. but it's a bitch have to cut matt board for backing. i made about 111 prints this spring. so that's 111 boards. luckily i cut them when i get my hands on matt board to recycle. i have a friend who has a frame shop. i save her dumpster and the land fills. RECYCLING!

MORE ROADKILL

now, these were inspired by a book of indian fables i got from paperback book club. cool B/W illustrations that inspired me and i went off from there.

i have

armadillo
badger
bear 2 3
beaver
chicken
cheetah
coyote
buffalo
frog
dog
deer
fox
flying squirrel
eagle
loon
lion
moose
horse
rabbit 1 2 3 5
raccoon 1 2
giraffe
puma 2 3
porcupine 1 2 3
wolf
skunk
zebra
hippo
rhino
elephant (GOP GREEN for $$$)
monkey (tried to make look like georgie)

i took an native american history class at art school around the same time and my instructor who also worked at our public museum, gave me a menominee lexicon-menominee to english(roll eyes)
so all the american animals have menominee names(except the armadillo and chicken. had to create names. the armadillo is a rock pig and the chicken is a meat bird.)
the loon is because of a danish woman who also works in south africa, so i added them. they have swahili names.

 
roadkill #1

FRIDAY.no? what day is this? ART BLOGGING-ROAD KILL

porcupine

porcupine 1


almost forgot. well, can't remember which ones i sent farmer,but i will explain 'roadkill'. when i first started this series, i was showing them off to my uncle ken, and he called them roadkill. why? cause they're flat. hmm, i guess they are. roadkill stuck and roadkill they shall forever be.

i will be sending more of them to farmer, signed and numbered prints of all can be had for $7, shipping included. children LOVE them and they have stopped a wailing child at 15 feet. if only kids had money. multiples get price deals.

the porcupine menominee name is Ket3miw. in the lexicon there was an odd looking 'e'. no idea how it's pronounced. it looks a bit like a reverse 3.
this is the first one i did. and after 'fixing' it's spines, it sold in green bay, but hey, i have the huge oil version.

 
ROADKILL

i am hoping to have 1 roadkill a day til i have them all up. IF, i get a cloudy day so i can take all their pictures.
