Trade Canoe: A Western Fantasy
2015

A vibrant and chaotic artwork featuring a mix of abstract and figurative elements. Various animals, including a large red deer and an owl, are interspersed with human figures, some of which appear to be in historical or mythological costumes. The background is a whirlwind of colors with dominant yellows and reds, overlaid with scribbles and doodles in blue and red. The scene seems to be a fantastical amalgamation of different times and stories, with a sense of movement and energy.
