I have a degree in Media Arts and Animation, but I enjoy trying new media all the time!
Interests
I had a seriously cool book when I was a kid about a boy from one of the Southwestern tribes (I thought it was Navajo, but could easily be Hopi) who journeyed through different underworlds. It was magnificently illustrated, definitely a short children's book and I'd love to find it again, but can't remember the name. Does this ring a bell with anyone?

Edit:
I'm pretty certain now it was Hopi, because the boy traveled down a series of ladders to each level, and I think it was 4 levels. By the end of the story, when he reached the surface again, he was wearing a very colorful headdress, much like the kachina (I think it was a coming of age story).

Google hasn't been much help, but if anyone remember this book, please let me know! It was so beautiful! Just for frame of reference, I would have been reading it in the late 80's/early 90's.

Sorry this is so late, but I wanted to say thank you for watching me :aww: I've been watching you for ages (from an old account that was merely for watching), and being now watched back by you means a lot.

Ooooh yay! I LOVE the drawing! It's always so fun when someone you watch is watching you back. (That sentence, out of the context of deviantArt, is a little creepy, now that I think about it...). I adore your style and can't wait to see more! :aww:

it cracks me up how the internet can make phrases like "I'm following you" or "I just started watching you" into compliments. It makes me wonder if we ought to have just made up a whole new word for it, like "I smorg you!" Or perhaps there's no hope for making it not creepy... hahah!

In any case, I'm happy we're both stalking each other! XD

I can't believe I've only just discovered you now. Everything you do is so amazing! And the fact that you're a Potter nut makes me love you even more! HP is my life, and while I dabble in my own artwork, it is no where as amazing as yours. Thank you for allowing me to be part of your world!
