Hey yo! Does anyone here know who made the artwork you can see in the background around the reception at the Great Northern Hotel in Twin Peaks? It looks fantastic! But I can't for the life of me find anything about it on the net. I've found out that the two art directors in Twin Peaks are called Michael Michael Okowita and that the set decorator is Brian Kasch, but I can't find anything to verify that they actually made those graphic paintings.

Does anyone know for sure? Any help would be much appreciated. :)

The art department was imitating the Tlingit murals in the Kiana Lodge, seen in the pilot. Each group of animals or animal tells a First Nations story. I see Haida or tlingit eagles, ravens, bears, and beavers throughout the show.

You can buy books to learn how to make art in this style.

I had a thread about this before where I discussed the Kiana Lodge artist. I want to say it's Bill Reid, but my memory is failing me.
