Alootook Ipellie
An intricate blending of written and visual imagery, this book is an Arctic journey interpreted through the mythological world of Inuit. With 20 short stories and accompanying pen ink drawings, it is the first publication to exclusively feature the writing and artwork of Alootook. (From Theytus Books)
Ipellie was an Inuit artist and creator who died in 2007. His work included the comic strip Nuna and Vut, which ran in the Nunatsiaq News for three years and satirized the experience of Inuit men and women in Canada.
