Speaking of Apalachia and Neil Gaiman's American Gods, have you ever been to Rock City?
When I read the book and saw that he had used it as a locale, I was thrilled because I'd actually been there when I was a kid!

Oohhh much love for this one! I always like different renditions of phoenixes, since I like to draw mine like overdone herons.

Oh this rocks. I almost voted for it, had to go back over them several times to think about it because this is truly fantastic -- and an unusual yet recognizable phoenix! Beautiful work. There's so many good entries in this one. I think "Tribal" must be the contest that sucked in all the great knotters.

LMAO.. well, thank you. There were some fantastic entries.. Truth to say, I think that the Maori shark fits the "tribal" best, but I'm completely enamoured of Mparker's Cthulu/squiddie.. I want one of those.

Yeah! Hehehe, the tribe you DON'T want to meet, kinda fishy squishy froggie looking and prone to human sacrifice. I'd love that on a coffee mug. I might reward myself with it when I do and sell a Mythos story.

Well.. I am part Cherokee. My great grandmother was full blooded Ocoee and the only way I even found out, I found her funeral registry in the basement and asked my mom about it. I wanted to know why so many Rainwaters were in attendance..

Surprised you? How? A LOT of people from the east tennessee area are part Cherokee. When I started college, one of my professors, first time he looked at me, said "You've got Cherokee in you".. Really confused me, because I'm very fair skinned with lighter brown hair.. but he said it was my cheekbones and facial structure. My mother has a very ruddy complexion and she dyes her hair light. Don't know who my father is. I figure he's probably got a germanic background because of the way I look.. I don't really look like anyone else in my family.
Where I went to school was only a few miles down the road from the once great Cherokee capital.. now called Tellico, Tennessee.

well... I did not remember that you live in Tenessee, and I did not know that Tenessee is full of part Cherokees

Well, maybe not full , but there are a lot there. With rural areas becoming more accessible, the gene pools are spreading out. It's a lot less recognizable than it was say.. fifty years ago. There are a lot of interesting genetic traces in the appalachian areas.. There's trace amounts of native americans, german, scottish, irish, etc. You should look up the blue people of kentucky.. The Appalachian areas that stretch from Kentucky through North Carolina are chock full of their own mythology, language, customs.. and they're all quickly dying away because the isolation is no longer there, which is a good thing, but it's also a shame at the same time. Truth to say, I deliberately keep my heavy southern rural accent because I'm proud of where I'm from.
There's a really good book you ought to read.. "American Gods" by Neil Gaiman
