Artist Statement:
AloHa-Ha! You have floated to
the lush jungles and clothing
optional beaches of Eden
Island. The seasons are mild
here, so the natives use
clothing only for protection
from the sun and such...or as
body decoration.
Many of these paintings and
prints are offered for sale by
the cultural representative of
the island, Witch Doctor
Livingston. (
http://zonoart.com/eden_island/
display/3DNative.html ) He
zealously guards the
distribution of native arts
and these, the images of the
natives.
Paintings of the natives are
at this site. You can find
images of the Flora, Fauna and
the Shamanic Art of the
natives at:
