This piece is meant to be a play on how the Cherokee word jiyu means both tulip poplar and airplane, because tulip poplars were used for canoes and so canoes were called jiyu, then all boats were jiyu, then planes were called jiyu as well
Bonus detail on this ᎤᏍᏗ ᏣᎳᎩ ᏥᏳ
A close up of an illustration showing a small single engine prop plane from below. It is white with red designs: a swirled Cherokee wind pattern down the side, chevrons on the tips of the wings, and a falcon eye motif on the nose. The spinning propeller is depicted as a whorled sun circle

the sky looked white, the water like wine
A photo of a black and white woodcut print of a human figure sitting on the ground, a flame burning in their cupped hands. A large black bull lays behind them, his head overlapping theirs so they share it. His eyes sparkle in the light of the flame. In between his horns is a crescent moon and 6 stars.

Mmm feeling like doing some clay stuff. Sketching out incense burner concepts
A series of sketches of planned incense burners. There are three backflow burners: a Fullbody sitting bear, a dragon bust, and a laying big cat bust. And there are three regular burners: a howling wolf, a bellowing bear, and a dragon.

perspective
A digital illustration of a nude chubby human seen from behind, raising their hand to gently touch a painted cave wall. On the wall is a large black bull and a red cow. The head of the bull overlaps the human so they are sharing the head, and he is looking back with a smile.
