Wishing you a happy Friday from the West Coast - time to share another work of art

From the Maktali series, Maktali being the old #Haida name for #Victoria. Made during my 2014 tenure as a visiting Audain professor at #UVIC with a student!

Behold, the exciting and unique product of an English class at #LakeheadUniversity, challenged to "destroy" the mural assembled from the pages of RED: A Haida Manga.

Thank you for sharing, Professor Umolac!
