This i did with the hope that one day i’ll make about 10000+ of these shirts and they will be worn by people from all over, located in one central spot in a major city, beating drums demanding that that people unite and realize that there really isn’t a reason why we should continue to live with all the oppressions of the world

A petroglyph is a carving or engraving in rock; especially an ancient one. My ancestors left tens of thousands such depictions of their lives on rocks throughout the Great American Southwest. This fellow I have created here displays the Zia (Sun) with its four rays – “To the Zia Indian, the sacred number is embodied in the earth, with its four directions; in the year, with its four seasons; in the day, with the sunrise, noon, evening, and night; in life, with its four divisions—childhood, youth, manhood, and old age. Everything is bound together in a circle of life and love, without beginning, without end.”

As Is. / This wonderful artwork transformed by the effects of late afternoon sunlight and shadow in the central plaza area of the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center near the Old Town area of Albuquerque, New Mexico. There must be at least 50 shafts of light falling across the artwork. / The Centre is owned by the 19 Pueblos of New Mexico and features educational programmes and exhibitions and is a unique place to learn about the fascinating Pueblo cultures and traditions and the people. An absolute must see if you’re in Albuquerque. / www.indianpueblo.org Featured in Public Art group, RedBubble, July 2009 / /

Kokopelli, the seed bringer and water-sprinkler(a reference to his male anatomy), is a common fertility symbol throughout the Southwest. His image is found in petroglyph art particularly in the fourcorners area and along the gorges of the San Juan River in Northern New Mexico and Colorado. He is a personage who is honored as a kachina by most Pueblo cultures. He is associated with fertility, the male principal and physiology, and the concept of the significance of protecting seeds. Usually depicted as old, bent under his heavy load, he visits various communities, impregnating the young women drawn to the tones of his flute playing. He is also related to the cricket, or locust, whose natural music is connected with specific humidity and seasonal temperatures. There are many, very ribald stories of his various exploits. When carved as a kachina doll, he usually has a staff, not a flute, but is also carved hunchbacked. Before the missionaries came to the Hopi mesas in the 1930’s, his kachina disguise and this doll also featured exaggerated male sexual organs although this practice has been curtailed in recent years. Today, he is considered the ambassador of the Southwest, a much less colorful job, by tourists and visitors.

When the Conquistadores of Spain came into the Southwest in the 16th century, they had priests and friars with them ready to convert the native peoples. The cross of Christianity resembled the Dragonfly symbol already traditional to the Pueblos. Today, most Southwestern tribes people are Catholic still, while maintaining our traditional beliefs and blending the two.

Kokopelli, the flute player, is a common petroglyph in the Southwestern United States. Nowadays he is more of an unofficial ambassador to this region; however, his original beginnings are steeped in ancient tribal beliefs.

KOSHARI (Also known as Koshare, Koyala, Hano, and Tewa) Kosharis or variants of them may be found in most of the pueblos. Although their primary function is one of amusement for the audience during pauses in katsina (kachina) dancing or as a leavening for the seriousness of a major ceremony, clowns are considered both sacred and profane. Easily recognizable by the black and white stripes painted over his entire body. He is ususally shown in a humorous pose. He is the joker who rings happiness to others. / / Clown Katsinas provide amusement during Katsina ceremonies. Clowns are often shown with watermelons and behave in the ususal manner of pueblo clowns, engaging in loud and boisterous conversation, immoderate actions, and gluttony. Clowns participate as drummers for dances. / In the Hopi tradition, the Sacred Clown Katsina frequently disrupts rituals. The clown satirizes Hopi life by acting out and exaggerating improper behavior…many times the Koshari’s actions are meant to portray a lesson on the behavior apparent in a tribal member. Their purpose is to show that overdoing anything is bad not only for the individual, but for the rest of the tribe as well. Kosharis play tricks, act out absurd pantomines, or mimic spectators. Similar to the more serious Katsinas, but with humor, the clown helps maintain community harmony by reminding the people of the acceptable standards of behavior within the Hopi community.

You would find her in the Arizona, New Mexico, So. Colorado and So. Utah area of the southwestern USA This was my first attempt at trying to paint a portrait, it was susposed to be Maria Martinez from San Ildefonso Pueblo in New Mexico but I couldn’t get her to look like Maria.

Went for our usual Sunday drive…we try and go someplace different every Sunday…and today we headed out into the Nevada desert to a little desert village that also has a pretty cool History Museum called the “Lost City Museum”. / The Federal CCC Camp workers from back in the mid 1930’s re-erected these pueblos from the Anasazi Indian Tribe. The Pueblos are original and every attention to detail was a strict order of the relocation by the “powers that be” in Washington DC. / It was a little eerie to walk around these cave like structures and realize that at one time familys’ lived and made their lives from these simple clay/mud homes. / You will see from the side line captures more examples of this ancient tribal way of life. Thanks for viewing my photography.

Me with my friend Blue Lake Drum who is Red Willow First People, he runs that shop in the back ground at the Taos Pueblo far north east corner of this historic site and has he got stories to tell, here he’s telling me how high he jumped when a rattlesnake snapped at him. Every year they have a Sun Festival where the likes of Paul McCartney and as Blue calls him Eric Cla”m”pton enjoy the festivities. He’s jammed with and hosted quite a few musicians of various renown and once again as he puts it, “gone to the moon”, i think that means they were rockin out man! I love him to death, such a character who never stops to suck wind, well hell no it interferes with the story – wheeze Guess by now you’re wondering who the heck is Johnny Eyeball, well that’s the dog on the right hand side, he’s a sheppard/heeler mix who got that name because one eyeball is brown and the other eyeball is white/blue, and that’s his typical position, he doesn’t say anything, that’s Blue’s department FEATURED / in the / My Wonderful Memories Group
