Thrilled to welcome Shilo George to the Hawkeye collective! She found us through and I am so grateful! Wado to you Shilo, to Mercatus, and to our ancestors for aligning us!! Here are some of their art, photos, and logos as a peek into what’s in store. 

Shilo George, MS (she/they) is a multidisciplinary artist, author, and consultant with Southern Cheyenne-Arapaho and Irish/Scottish heritage. A conceptual artist with a passion for bold, vibrant colors and geometric patterns, their work is a celebration of connection, identity, and cultural heritage. Their art draws inspiration from childhood memories—like sneaking their mom’s markers as a toddler to doodle on anything she could get her hands on (including her face!)—and from the calm, joyful moments spent watching their mom and auntie color on camping trips.

Now, Shilo is stepping into the publishing world, partnering with Hawkeye Publishing—a fierce, Native-owned press that amplifies voices often unheard—to create a series of culturally rooted coloring and activity books. Her first project, a geometric coloring book, invites everyone to play with color, relax, and find their own rhythm. This series is just the beginning; Shilo envisions Native-centered books for all ages that spark joy, honor culture, and provide introspective spaces where people can unwind and connect to something greater than themselves.

Whether teaching, consulting, or creating, they believe that healing and justice are woven into every line, every color, and every page. Her art, infused with textures and themes from their lineage, serves as a visual and emotional tribute to their ancestors’ strength, community values, and a deep understanding of the interconnectedness of all things. Shilo brings color, queerness, and a touch of rebellion to every project, making art that reflects her identity while offering space for others to explore theirs.

We are excited to welcome to the Hawkeye collective! ✨

Diosa Xochiquetzalcóatl, or Diosa X for short, is a multilingual and multidimensional Xicana, Indigenous, MeXicana poetiza. She is a seasoned language arts educator with a Bachelor’s in English and a Master’s in Cross-Cultural Education, as well as a Level 1 Kundalini Yoga Instructor and a student of Nahualísmo. Diosa X has been writing since her pr***en years, first publishing her poems in her high school’s bilingual literary magazine, Las Voces. But it wasn’t until adulthood that she began to participate in open mics at Tia Chuchas and Tonalli Studios; and it was then that she recommitted to her poetry and finally embraced her life as a poet, and eventually, author.

In 2022, Diosa participated and won Chicago’s only Spanish-language slam, Slam Diáspora, which sent her, in partnership with the Fiesta Literaria de la las Periferias (FLUP) to the continental tournament, Abya Yala: Copa América de Poetry Slam in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Prior to this experience, she also competed in the 2017 CABE Conference Spoken Word Competition, tying for first. Most recently, Diosa X became the RGVIPF’s first slam champion in 2023.

The Delta Park Powwow was such a great experience, as always. The Bow and Arrow Culture Club meets for weeks in advance to prepare for the events.

I made it out on Sunday afternoon. I bought a beautiful little Zuni raven carving, and spent the rest of the time enjoying the dancing. Yesterday was my Cherokee grandmother's birthday, so I made sure to wear a ring that she gave me so a little bit of her medicine was with me.

The younger girls carried the energy of the day. The father's dance was so sweet and it was moving to see the men dance with their relatives.

I gave out a few copies of the Frybread Man book, the recognition of culture on the young faces was so wonderful!

We went for dinner at a spot that we had one of our first dates after. I enjoyed it so much.

Good day, good medicine, I did not get rained on. Thank you for being. 🌻🌞🌈

The first slide is a glimpse of our Monday release!

We're finally getting some sun in this corner of the country. It reminds me of spring/summer when I was a kid when we didn't care about the rain, we would play outside anyway. 

I definitely don't have the desire to deal with being drenched on purpose now, so my yard is a bit behind on getting pretty this year and I seem to only have one volunteer pumpkin. Normally I have volunteer tomatoes coming out of my ears. Instead, I somehow grew a huge crop of accidental chamomile and I am okay with this. Now to harvest and dry it.

1 - A sneak peek at our new release for next week!

2 - Lovely recipients of bracelets I made - thank you for the photos! I would love to make more :)

3 - In-progress photo

4 - Chamomile crop. Want some?

5 - Favorite rose at the moment surrounded by more chamomile

6 - Runner up favorite rose

7 - poppy glow

Who is going to be at the Delta Park powwow next weekend? 🪶

The most darling gift from my oldest friend Mike and his sweet wife Billie Jo.

It's been 9 months since he left us and feels like moments ago that he was still here. The grief is more quiet but still sneaks up on me to boop me with a shiny black cold nose on the back of my leg.

I am so touched - and Carole captured him perfectly. I'm overwhelmed by this lovely art of my fuzzy heart. This is one of my favorite photos of him. The original photo was taken on my birthday. Many happy memories encapsulated in that image and this brings it and him a little closer. Now I get to hang him on my wall.

Thank you Mike, Billie Jo, and Carole!

Some things I've made lately - I've been spending almost all of my spare time between drafting books on beading while it's been raining the last few weeks.🧵🪡🌧️🌈

First slide is my first ever design from scratch! Needs adjustments but I am excited about it. it's the St John's bridge in Portland.

The rest of the loom beaded patterns are recreated with permission.

And a strawberry rhubarb custard pie because it was delicious. 🥧
