Fetish Artist Trading Cards

Artist Trading Cards, Buffalo and Bear, Phillip Hoyle 2017

I'm getting ready for an ATC swap and workshop coming up next week. The theme ought to provide some beauties and, perhaps, some laughs. That will be up to the imaginations of the artists. There is a lot of imagination in the groups I trade with. 

I've long admired the cultures and artwork of Native Americans. I get to look at the work, both traditional and modern, of such artists at the Denver Art Museum, the first American art museum to show these works as art. My work with such designs is a mark of my appreciation. 

Rabbit Fetish, Phillip Hoyle 2017

All three of these ATCs are inspired by fetishes by Native Americans. They are done here on water color paper grounds, collage, handmade papers, ink, feathers, and rafia.
