"Art of Alaska and the Pacific Northwest Coast"

"Haida Totem"

(5 x 8 drawing time - 153 hours)

Original Pen and Ink - $2,400 U.S.

The Haida people have the most recognizable style of the Northwest Coast cultures. It is bold, monumental, and very dramatic. This piece is a stylized version of a human totem and emphasizes the large eyes and bold features typical of this culture. Pointillism is the sole technique used here and while pen and ink is not a traditional medium for this type of art, I believe that it works quite well.
