One of the Native American Pieces I Found Last Night...



was by Native American artist Rob McClellan.

I believe he's based out of Oklahoma.

Here's a picture of one of his studios.

I love the drawings I see there.

Who doesn't love Native American art? I am horrified to admit I've not made it yet to the Museum in D.C.

I swore I'd be there within a year of its opening and what is it now? Eight years? Ten years? More? Ugh.

And here's a photo of some native art documenting the Battle of Little Bighorn.

Here's a link to a Gallery on Flickr of like 500 pieces of Native American art: Native

I'm not sure if it's Sioux conventions he used in creating the piece I'm looking at now (a skin drum with a very vibrant, many-hued drawing of a warrior on a horse). It's so stylized, like the drawings I linked to, and the one I show here. As I said, if you look at his studio, you can see some similar drawings in process there.
