Rocking Raven comics (aka Haida Manga) is selected as part of the Canada National Design Team exhibit at the prestigious Tokyo Design Week Oct 9-23.
The Tokyo Design Week is the worldest fourth largest and fastest growing international design fair. 36 countries and 650,000 visitors will mark this years’ first ever Canadian presence.
I have created a special piece for Tokyo consisting of 14 panels on large paper sheets. As well Rocking Raven goes Fishing will be available as a comic book at the exhibit venue, the Canadian Embassy gallery Oct 12-23.
Influenced by the argillite pipe carving tradition I again present a telling of an old Haida narrative. Yes it is strange, even twisted and as the British museum said the work “is slightly disturbing” I think Sophia Books in Vancouver accurately called Rocking Raven a “peu grotesque”.
