Bladers-turned-Painters JB Snyder and Erik Burke featured on National Geographic

Updated at 4:29 PST: to include Erik Burke, who paints as Overunder.

“So far, artists Tom Greyeyes, Xiana Clitso, Tohono “Breeze” O’odham, Overunder, Doodles, Labrona, Gaia, Roa, and JB Snyder have traveled to the reservation from near and far (the farthest being Roa from Ghent, Belgium). This month, Italians Pixel Pancho and 2501 will spend a week painting there.

While the art photographs well, it’s better in person. If you can take a trip through the region, don’t just drive by. Stop and take a closer look. Talk to people if they are around. There is a lot to learn from Navajo culture, and, judging from my experience, the Diné (Navajo people) are happy to talk about it.”

    I may be wrong but Overunder is Erik Burke.

    I think you’re right. Thanks for the correction. Apologies on the oversight.
