Price $500 - Order Here

A very rare piece of American Indian folk art, "Eskimo Boy Child" is an 8x10 ink on paper illustration by the famous Alaskan artist Fayma Robinson. When this piece was produced in 1973 the edition size was extremely small, only one hundred were produced (this is number 56 out of 100).

Ms. Robinson's work very rarely comes up for sale or auction. All known pieces are in the care of museums, libraries, or private collections.

This illustration measures 8 x 10 (most of Ms. Robinson's works were produced at this size), is hand signed and numbered by the artist, and is printed on parchment. This piece comes matted and framed to 11 x 14.

Note: Mild water stain on the top left hand corner of print.

Fayma Robinson (1918 - 1983) was a famous yet reclusive artist from Juneau, Alaska, who spent her life illustrating the Inuit lifestyle and people.

JapanTourist: How Japan’s Non-CG Sci-Fi Films are Made

Godzilla fans are very much familiar with the techniques used to create the illusion of giant monsters attacking Japanese cities. However, the average person probably is not familiar with these techniques or very little (chalking them up as guys in rubber suits smashing "cardboard" buildings).

JapanTourist, the Japan-travel related site that I am currently contributing to, has an article on the making of Japanese giant monster movies (or non-CGI sci-fi films)

Currently, there is a "lavish exhibit" in Japan at the Ehime Museum of Art on those techniques.  The article tells about this exhibit, too.  The article includes plenty of pictures.

Here's an excerpt:

The exhibition is housed across all of the galleries and media rooms on the second floor, and there’s never a dull moment. The exhibits show the history, design, and craftsmanlike creation behind favourites such as Godzilla, Mothra, Gamera, the Ultraman series and Nihon Chinbotsu or Sinking of Japan.
