I've been meaning to find out more about Inuit art for years. Re-inspired by a photo of a print from a flickr contact, today was the day to do some looking around. And I am bowled over by the work I saw. Simple, yet full of personality and wit, it's exactly my favorite sort of thing. The lithograph pictured above is titled "Spring Morning" by Pitaloosie Saila - you can learn more about it and/or buy it here.

Jessica,
Inuit art is definitely wonderful! Being partially native, each year when I return to Alaska to be with my birth family, I am surrounded by ivory carvings and paintings by fellow Eskimos.
You should go to Alaska and check out the native heritage center and other buildings full of art!
