Cheyenne Randall (Cheyenne River Sioux) has been getting a lot of attention this year with his artwork. James Franco regularly posts Cheyenne’s art on his instagram page. The one with Emma Watson tattooed on Franco’s neck caused rumors that the tattoo was real. Cheyenne was then featured in Vanity Fair, Business Insider, Marie Claire Magazine and many more.
