B. 1961 -

. . . on the 20^th year of The Coyote

Hard to believe, but the twentieth year of The Coyote Series is upon us.  Twenty years of jaw- dropping, mind-numbing victories, teeth-gnashing, heartbreaking failures, and everything in between.  I might be the most alternately exalted, misunderstood, overrated and underestimated person I’ve ever met.  Twenty years now and, safe to say, that The Coyotes have come a long way since their start as hopeful little drawings made in a cold, tiny, rundown apartment in Jackson, Michigan, their sole purpose to lift the spirits of their down-on-his-luck author, me.  To my great surprise, The Coyote Series has become one of the most widely collected, longest lasting and successful bodies of artwork in history.

I’ve become a terrific study on the merits of chasing a dream .
