Duane Pasco Prints at garage sale

I haven't used this blog for some time, but now I will attempt to make more posts. My main objective is to share my passion and ideas about northwest coast aboriginal art. Also, teaching is an interest of mine. I have several art and education degrees. So, I hope through future post I can share my ongoing understanding of art as I continue to learn.

With that i would like to post about a set of Duane Pasco prints that I was lucky enough to find at a garage sale this week for $100 bucks. These prints have always been a favorite, I never thought I would get to own some. I have admired Pasco's work since I was a kid, and have learned a great deal by studying his art and periodically visiting with him. Pasco is a real inspirational fella.

What I enjoy so much about these illustrations of Paco's, is how he rendered the people. Not only are these illustrations just dynamite beautiful but there is information about carving/sculpting the figures in the way that Pasco has  conceptually rendered figures. they look like they are carved.

The print where done in 1988 and where illustrations for a book that I have included a picture of. The book is out of print but I assume can be found online used....
