About Native Superhero design

“When I am designing a new piece what my goal is not only showcase the Native influence on the work but to have the viewer still manage to see the hero as well. No one way dominating the other, a balance, harmony, a hybrid if you will of my heritage and my love for comic books, TV and film.”
