Montague’s Dinner Date
Montague realized his diatribe on the inconsistencies of goat mythology was failing to impress Polly. He madly raced through his memory for interesting stories that might relate to badgers, but all he could come up with was the badger in Wind in the Willows. He knew, innately , that this reference would not cut the [...]
Tulip & Moon
Although Tulip was certainly attracted to Moon, he’d never considered a cross species relationship before tonight. Especially with a cat. Usually shy and rather retiring in his habits, a thin electrical charge had pierced his heart when he first saw her across the field. When finally they stood next to each other, and she made [...]
back in the saddle

We’re [...]
Coyote Monoprints
Recently I’ve started making monoprints for the first time. The monoprint process is closer to painting than any other print making process. You begin with a piece of plexiglass – called a ‘plate’. Special oil based or water based inks are rolled on the surface. Then a variety of tools can be used to remove the ink [...]
