In Response To: Eskimo Art Logo Question (Paul Willliams)

I found two good books on Northwest Indian graphic art:

Northwest Costal Indian Art, Bill Holy, 1965, University of Washington Press.

Looking at Indian Art of the Northwest Coast, Hilary Stewart, 1979, University of Washington Press.

I think both books are in print. I have paperback printings that I bought 1 and 3 years ago.

With these books you'll get some great designs and understand the stories behind them. They have a rich mythology that is very different than Western stories.

Some of the designs are from living artist. There could be some legal issues if the designs are copied. I don't know much about copyright law.
