Title: America's Great Again

Artist: Chad "Little Coyote" Yellowjohn

Tribal Affiliation: Shoshone Bannock/Spokaneancestral

Year Completed: 2017

Medium: Copic, Micron, Sharpies, Framed

After drafting an idea, and picking my subjects, I outline lightly with a pencil of the creation, and outline with a Micron Pen. After the Micron Pen outline has been dried, I erase the pencil outline. I start coloring the base color, then begin the shadowing with a darker tone, to light tone, the process must be quickly done to get the smooth fade. The finishing process are final details on facial features, the hair strands, and any small details that would give viewers the time to appreciate.

Dimensions (HxWxD): 28x22

Description/Inspiration:

This was not a threat, simply a response to his tweets, his remarks against protesting football players, the insults you proudly state in the presence of our Code Talkers, the disrespect you have against women, and the list goes on and on. We are a proud people and as he continued his Imperial actions, we the Rebels were at war with him till the end of his term (and continues). Viewers may relate this to Kathy Griffin, however if its found it to be okay for him to act the way he acted/acts, and does what he does, then I find it to be okay to draw the way I draw. It may be expressed as being "too far" I find it to be just right for some individuals who have been angered/harmed by his actions. But please, hate me, hate my drawing and express it, or love me, and love my drawing and support me, and yourself. I consider this to be one of my best art creations because it's beyond my usual size, it's my first horse I ever drew (which was near our camp at Standing Rock), and it spoke to me.

Artist Bio/Statement:

Chad "Little Coyote" Yellowjohn comes from Shoshone Bannock/Spokaneancestral line. Chad was raised in Ione, Washington and at a young age was mute. Over the years, his imagination began to extensively blossom on paper, thus gaining a heavy interest in free hand illustration.

After having dropped out, he decided after two years to reenroll. Coming back to the school was the greatest choice he made. Yellowjohn earned his Associates in Cinematic Arts, along with a Minor in Studio Arts. Yellowjohn has plans and goals to travel and show the world his art, tell his story, and spread inspiration and awareness of the issues Indigenous people face today. He has the motive for children to feel included in the world, which is why he creates for all Indigenous People, especially for the Indigenous Children.

Currently he is motivated to discover the means to promote optimistic activism or "protecting" through his creative talents and collaborations with organizations, musical artists, and just awesome individual's. Chad "Little Coyote" Yellowjohn has the admiration to spread happiness through art, and hopes to give YOU laughter with his skill, and he thanks you for taking the time reading his biography! and he hopes to give YOU laughter with his gift.
