Cool Art

So after all my travels recently, I have been exploring new art...well, new to me.
I have seen some Native art in Alaska and Hawai'i as well as Oaxacan art in the San Diego International Airport (a temporary display called "Hecho en México: Mexican Folk Art").
There are so many things I could describe but pictures are better sometimes.

I found this awesome pattern and Conor and I made this penguin with all these influences in mind. We will be painting the wolves soon!
