Description: Haida Gwaii is a remote archipelago off the northern coast of British Columbia, Canada, known for its rugged wilderness, rich marine life, ancient forests, and deep Indigenous heritage. Formerly known as the Queen Charlotte Islands, the islands are the ancestral homeland of the Haida people, whose culture, art, and traditions have shaped the region for thousands of years. Towering cedar and spruce forests meet rocky beaches and windswept Pacific coastline, while bald eagles, black bears, whales, and other wildlife thrive throughout the islands.

Description: I wanted to make some more fun and cute. And I came up with my rendering of a Haida cat, since cats are so popular on the internet.

Description: You can't go wrong with Northwest coast Haida art, it's been popular for decades.These First Nations designs are ideal for apparel and always look good. Formline is an indigenous art made by the First Nation people of Northwest coast of North America. The term formline is invented by Bill Holm. We use the word since 1965, but the art is many hundreds of years old. The idea is to create a flowing continuous line with increasing and decreasing thickness. We get negative spaces with a dominant black outline. The negative spaces are filled with formline type ornaments or elements. The main forms are ovoids, U forms and S forms. With these forms the artist composes a complete formline.
