The warm afternoon sun-baked the west facing wall as the artist approached her canvas. She stopped. She looked. Then considered the words she wanted to paint. She needed to leave a lasting impression for anyone that happened by this site. The Fremont Indian Rock Art is considered the best representation of these ancients.

"Across Lifetimes Untold, We Still Say Hello"

This piece is inspired by a petroglyph in Peterborough, Ontario, c. 900-1100 CE. The First Nations people call them Kinomagewapkong, "The Teaching Rocks".

here’s one showing off his newly-carved artwork. he is very proud. the image depicts the symbol of the sun with extending rays over an egg sac- it symbolises fertility and such

and I also sketched a bit to show how the tool is made

We add another petroglyph drawing, this one is from La Guaira 👀

I'm still not sure about the thing on his head... Should it be more human? More a deity and floating? Of all the ideas I had, the fourth one liked me most but honestly I accept suggestions

I would like to add more elements of the place where it was found (Closer to the sea) so we will see what I can do. I hope you like! 🤗

Howdy, I noticed I never shared this fella here.

The last year I was obsessed with a venezuelan petroglyph, so I wanted to read as much as I could find about it (There's a thread on twitter, btw), and also... Draw a character inspired of it

I'm still working in his story but for now what I can say is... He's a some kind of spirit who protects the Amazonia. His past? He doesn't remember it at all to the point he's unable to speak, but surely he's related with the sun in some way (And that's how I've been calling him, Sunny boy, haha)

Leaving here the drawings I've done so far. I hope to bring more about him soon, and I hope you like him as much as I do! ❤️
