WIND DANCER



Image may contain: 1 person

















I'm a sixteen year old indigenous youth living in Toronto. The design is inspired by the story "Raven Steals the Sun." The image is of a raven creating a sunset bringing light into the world for the first time. 
The board was spray painted with the lines done with paint marker to add detail. The board was hand pressed and made of maple. The main goal of the brand "Winddancer Design" is visual storytelling. I learned about stencilling and cutting cleaner lines throughout the process. The design of the sunset allows the viewer to think about warmth and light. 
While making this board, I changed my brand to "Krude Kids", with a different set of ideals. Although the brand has changed, I still strives to tell stories through art.
