Thank you for your comments Gail and Larry. Yes Larry, I did google the artist's name right after I uploaded the drawing on the forum earlier today. The artist's name is Marvin Toddy. Mr. Toddy was born in 1954 on a Navajo reservation in Arizona. As of the writing of the article I read, he currently lives in Window Rock, AZ. The CJ box drawing was done in 1984. That date is under his signature on the drawing. Mr.Toddy's drawings are all of Native Americans and their culture. The article I read had pictures of three of his drawings but not the CJ picture.
As for how I acquired this picture, Betty Goff had a copy at the 1999 CJCA convention. She showed it to me and others. I adored it so much, Betty was kind enough to make an 8x10 copy and mail it to me later. That same year, Betty even used the picture as the front of her Christmas card. She was generous enough to send me one of those as well. I asked Betty where she ever found the drawing and she told me but as luck would have it, I have now forgotten. I do remember she just saw it somewhere and picked it up. Like maybe at some sort of vendor's show or something. I have my copy framed and hanging in one of my CJ rooms. So Gail, I must confess, I am not a photoshop expert.

But I am thrilled that I almost had you convinced I am.
If anyone would like a copy, I would be happy to copy my copy and send it off to you. Just let me know. Hey, how about if we plan a convention in Arizona and maybe we can look up Mr. Toddy!
