An Artists Vision

Biggle Foo Becomes a Legend

It is the year 2000 and something and the world is not what it was 500 years ago when Eagles and Ravens were revered. Time and modern science has changed the people of the West Coast. They no longer believe in the animal spirits and they no longer believe their own legends: the stories are forgotten, the young people no longer look up to the Raven, the bringer of the light, the transformer, the trickster, the creator. Those days are gone. In today's world, creation is in the hands of machines, computers are the transformers, the government is the trickster and a man called Thomas Edison was the bringer of the light. Then a Raven saved a frog from certain death by covering him with a maple leaf. He did the first transformation in over 500 years and the spirits flowed again. The trouble was he had no idea how he had done it.
