“This bold and flowing image represents the powerful Killer Whale. The Haida word for Killer Whale is Sgaan, meaning powerful. In the design itself you’ll find the Head, Dorsal Fin and a suggested Pectoral Fin. The ‘Spirit Form’ in this case is representing the Whale’s blow hole. The long fluid lines are gracefully accented by bold colors and a real sense of ‘Flow’.” – Lyle Campbell, 2019

Joe Wilson has created this limited-edition print series illustrating the traditional Coast Salish whorl in which both the male and female Killerwhale are represented in balance and harmony with one another.
The ‘Journey of Hope’ was designed specifically for the survivors of the tsunami in Japan in 2011 to pay tribute to their survival instincts as well as their future hopes and dreams.
The Killerwhale is an important crest symbol, associated with power, strength, dignity and communication.
The Killerwhale is thought to be the reincarnation of great chiefs so they are the majestic protectors of mankind. Many believed that those lost at sea were carried away by the Orca to their villages deep within the ocean and they would be guided to a new life and a new beginning.
Killerwhale Clans live in Killerwhale Villages deep within the ocean; when at home they remove their skins and live as large humans. Mating once for life and thought to be the reincarnation of great chiefs, these majestic animals are the protectors of mankind. While known to capsize canoes and carry the inhabitants to their Killerwhale Village, they are also reputed to act as guides to humans caught within storms.

“This print tells the story of how we met our young friend, Tristan Davis. Last February (2019), my wife and I attended the All Native Basketball Tournament in Prince Rupert. We hosted a raffle for a colourful 4’x2′ acrylic painting. Tickets were $5 each. On our second day, we met Tristan. She approached our table and proceeded to count out five dollars in change to buy one ticket. She then popped by our table throughout the week to check on what she was calling “her painting”. At the end of the week, we held the draw and sadly, to our dismay, she did not win. Well, a few weeks passed but I couldn’t help but think of this little one’s appreciation and connection with my artwork. My wife and I discussed it and decided to make her a painting of her own. With a little investigation, via Facebook, we were able to track down her mother. We found out that [Tristan] was 9 years old and from the Thunderbird Clan. So, in the design, the Thunderbird has a creek flowing from its mouth. The Thunderbird is her and the creek is Hays Creek, where we met her.” – Lyle Campbell
Why an Artist Proof?
The artist proof is often the first proof or set of proofs that the artist “pulls” to ensure that the image is printing to the desired effect. The Artist Proof holds a higher value than a regular edition piece due to its rarity as well as the possibility that they can contain the visual evidence of the artist’s progress. Artist Proofs are typically owned and kept by the artist so they are rarely released.
