Peter
George,
Jr.
is
an
artist
of
rare
and
varied
talent.
Much
of
his
work
is
inspired
by
the
people
around
him,
as
was
the
drawing
above
of
his
Grandmother.
He
draws
portraits
of
friends
and
family
with
sensitivity
and
a
fine
eye
to
detail.
His
art,
while
often
portraying
native

PETER
GEORGE
jects
and
the
beauty
of
the
natural
world
that
is
so
important
to
him,
is
not
"native"
art.
He
draws
incessantly,
wherever
he
is.
He
draws
portraits
of
the
people
at
the
donut
shop
and,
while
waiting
for
a
friend
at
the
CNC
cafeteria,
his
eye
is
captured
by
simple
things
such
as
the
folded
napkins
levelling
the
tables.
His
numerous
sketch
pads
and
books
are
filled
with
varied
media,
from
pen
and
water-colour
to
pastels
and
pencil
sketches.
He
draws
cartoons
as
well
as
the
portraits,
with
"Poor
Boos"
the
cat
his
alter
ego.
Poor
Boos
comments
on
many
aspects
of
life,
from
Bingo
Halls
to
the
urgent
need
for
"More
Coffee!"
Peter
has
done
many
of
the
illustrations
for
this
issue
of
the
Free
Press,
and
will
be
contributing
on
a
regular
basis.
One
of
his
assignments
is
to
draw
caricatures
of
the
Free
Press
staff.
Look
for
them
in
an
upcoming
issue.
Peter
has
work
available
through
Studio
2880's
Art
Rental
Program,
and
is
on
display
at
the
Native
Friendship
Centre.
