A conceptual take on the "Wounded Knee Massacre" which happened on December 29th, 1890. It was a terrible and tragic event, in which hundreds of American Indians were slaughtered for no reason at all. you can read more about it [link] there if you wish!

This was done for the upcoming department show my college has, and as a senior i am required to participate :( The buffalo represent the U.S. army, taken from the nickname some soldiers received, aptly named "buffalo soldiers". The wolves/coyotes/foxes/canines of course, represent the American Indians.

enjoy!

OH! I saw this in the Society of Illustrators student scholarship exhibition catalogue! It is so crazy when you're just browsing along and you see something you've seen in real life. This piece is so RAD. Good job.

An absolutely deep interpretation. If this were a print, I'd be hard-pressed not to buy it.

He's one of my favourite professors =) I've been meaning to take a trip back to the school to visit him, life has been so hectic lately. But anyway, you go to Montserrat?! :0
