I've always loved Ojibwe art, especially by Anishinaabe artist, Norval Morriseau and the Woodland School of Native Art. These drawings borrow a great amount of their iconography and design. All respect intended.
I'm glad these drawings are so popular! I do feel a bit hestitant about borrowing from other cultures, but I do try to be respectful. I'm not sure about them being displayed as Ojibwe art, as I am not Ojibwe and I think there are many amazing Ojibwe artists out there who deserve to be recognised. I'm also honoured when someone wants to get a tattoo of one of my drawings. Go for it!

Hey, these are cool. Can I print some for kids to use at an art opening that includes Ojibwe art? We are non-profit, I'd give you credit.
I stumbled upon these and I amazed! The one on the bottom is my favorite!
Mind if I get the bottom one tattooed on my left arm?

I posted article about you on the NORVAL MORRISSEAU BLOG at http://norvalmorrisseau.blogspot.com/
I hope you do not have objections.
Thanks and continue creating great art.

I would love to use your eagle design on a set of wooden coasters I am making and possibly a tattoo.
