Haida spirit animals


I've been looking into and researching art from different cultures lately. The artwork of the Haida and Kwakiutl Native Americans of Northwest Canada has been of particular interest. The designs of their animals are very unique. I depicted three elders with their spirit animal designs peeling from their clothing and coming to life. The funky looking animals on the bottom are animals found in Mongolian art.
