"Insane." Snowhazed, the whiskers are so cool! Nice 'un.
Here's Merced's downtown theater complex, the Mainplace, and they built the murals on one corner of the building at 18th and K. One side of the cr. is metallic mural, the other is painted tiles with Yosemite and the San Jaoquin as the subjects. I'm crediting Dakota, the artist, a weird guy, to be sure.
The El Cap mural features a Yosemite Indian facing the viewer and trying to get though the "pane" between them. Even the "rotten log" features in the work.
Survival, you have some good stuff there. thx

Thanks Survival, but this thread is good because all the added work from everyone, one of my favorites as well. Love that work you added.
Snow- that is perfect. A funny story, when I was in nude drawing classes we would have thirty minutes to draw a realistic representation of the model. Now it takes me about a hour to get semi-realistic representation, while the student next to me was always done in five minutes and his work was always perfect. Some people just have the natural gift of being able to produce exactly what they see, with little to no effort. The best part was all he wanted to be was a comic book artist and could care less about fine art. Our professor would get irritated when she saw him reading a comic book when he was supposed to be drawing. At first she would walk over to him ready to lay into him, but what could she do when she saw his work was always spot on?

Neebee,
I didn't see it in a book; but read about in the book The Final Leap by John Bateson. The description and the Greek mythology behind it inspired me to find it. Icarus's feet are flailing about in the right end corner, most people never see them (and that is the fact that made me look at it).
BTY, I like the fellow in the top hat.

I became interested in Inuit culture and art after climibng in Alaska. Here is the latest piece of art that I added to my collection, a snowy owl inua mask.
All animals are believed to be the reincarnation of humans. Here, the snowy owl symbolically reveals its human spirit.

The last piece deals with death and it's interesting to see his interpretation compared to Alex Grey's upthread.
Edit: Mouse- :-)
