In honor of my cousin, the late Pat Mills from Hoonah, Alaska, for the upcoming koo.eex (pay-off party), I drew an ink & acrylic sketch of Pat, as if dancing in a Chilkat robe that could have been his – the robe includes his infamous “FV Mary JoAnne” sailing along with salmon and halibut
With my friend Cecil’s assistance, we printed 88 copies of the “Mary Joanne Chilkat Robe” as gifts for Pat’s koo.eex coming up on November 17 in Hoonah, Alaska. Why print an edition of 88? Simply because that’s all the paper I had. This printer is the Epson 7880 24″ model. I’ve had it for about 4 years, however, I find it difficult to make time to print all that I want to print. There is only so much time in 8 days a week!
