Chumash rock art

chum2.jpgA short piece from SA buddy Erik Davis about his recent trip to a Chumash rock art site in sunny California. Some great observations, as ever, from Erik:

One of the things I particularly like about Chumash images is that some of them have a compressed, almost cartoonish quality that reminds me of the pop culture logos and characters of contemporary graphic design.  

Other images seem to imply that alien visitation has definitely taken place. Some rock art fans don’t like to emphasize this alien quality, because they think it implies that the ancient people couldn’t come up with these amazing images themselves. But that’s not the point. The point is that whatever aliens may be in our cultural consciousness, the Chumash seemed to have had access to something similar in theirs.
