Blackfoot Folklore Picture Book Illustrations.

I have done illustrations for two books thus far. The one being "Napi and The Fox", it is as story about Napi using the fox to distract some buffalo so that he can hunt them. The story has a almost disturbing but comical ending.
The second story that I am still working on is "Napi and The Rock", in this story Napi's arrogance gets him into trouble then he needs to think fast to escape unharmed.
These Illustration are done on Watercolor paper with Gauche as medium. I really enjoy working with Gauche because the colors can be as vivid or as watercolor-like as I desire. I also like the easy clean up. :)
