Description: Inspired by a 3 - page comic by the French cartoonist Jean Giraud (Moebius) illustrating a speech by Chief Seattle Seattle - based cartoonist Jon Strongbow went on a spiritual journey. He studied at the Red Cedar Circle a community dedicated to the ancient teachings of the First Peoples of the Northwest Coast attended a local Tibetan monastery and was mentored by local native healers and medicine people. Deeply moved by these teachings he sought to honor the culture of the original inhabitants and refute the devastation wrought upon them by depicting today's Seattle imbued with ghosts of the original inhabitants of Northwest Coastal natives. All One Life is a series of 29 stunningly imaginative images - meticulously rendered and expertly transformed into 3 D (glasses required and included) - that juxtapose the city's past and present indicating what we have lost by destroying the tribal nations. Many of the images feature masked dancers from all over the world and how they invigorate the modern streets. There are also shamanic images especially spirit entities such as the dream time Wandjina spirits of Australia and the Hopi and Zuni Kachinas in the Four Corners area. Strongbow also showcases endangered species: a whale swims in the streets of Pioneer Square echoing their near extinction caused by aggressive whaling by Americans Germans and Japanese; dinosaurs roam the city's streets reminding us that many creatures have had their day and we may have had ours. All One Life is a series of stunning images chronicling the transformation of Seattle that is both imaginatively fanciful and profoundly elegiac.
