I start with references subjects that are from 5 genres: Wildlife, Native American celebrities and influences, westerns type films, Star Wars characters and consignment pieces. I build my media from vinyl the surface median and wood as support. The vinyl is cut into a feather shape. The wood is glue on as support for the calamus. Gesso is painted on and sanded to desired smoothness. The image selected is then hand drawn on frontside and backside is reserved for my signature marking. A matte protective coating. Some barbs are cut in near calamus. Leather, rawhide and colored string are glued around calamus. Artificial sinew is wrap around rawhide loop. Each feather art comes with a certificate of authenticity. Each image is used once and not reproduced. I use boxes with custom inserts for transport and protection.
