Illustrator Siggi Odds was born in Reykjavik and attended the Iceland Academy of the Arts. In between those two events, he lived in Vancouver where he was exposed to Northwest Coast Native Art. For his thesis, he learned the formal rules and traditions of the art style, including its symbolism. He then applied his own twist on things and produced 'Nang Jàadaas' (The Women).
We too have a thing for native art. We admire his courage to take on such an established style. Found through ffffound
