- "Resting" 8.5" x 11" pen & ink on bristol. Another pic I was asked to do for MFM 2002, all volunteers get a signed print of this for there work. A volunteer takes a rest after a long hard work. Go to MFM 2002 I will like you if you do *Grin* http://mephitfurmeet.org/
- "The weight we bare," Ball Point Pen, & Digital. Some of us carry a weight on our soul, we don't know how to handle it, we fear it. So, we hide it and cover our pain with masks. Some let this weight become and obstacle to life, other let it kill them... Mine got to me, and now I'm doing something about it... My only regret is that I didn't do something about it sooner...
- "Roderick raccoon," Brush pen on paper. A board doodle, of a medieval raccoon. *Grin*
- "The Return," PhotoShop. In 1991, I drew an image. It was of a young Lt. Raccoon, next to a APC on a snow covered land scape. He looked tired, and lost in thought. In 1993 I painted a space scape of a large golden planet. Called "Hero," its been the subject of many stories. Now an older Raccoon at the rank of Commander, returns to the arctic moons of "Hero." 11 years have past, the Raccoon, and I have had many adventures, and painful journeys. We have learned lessons, and Innocence is gone. But there are some constants for us both. The Stars, the Planets, and Our Dreams.
- "Ruined Keep," Computer. A pair of life mated gryphons soar over their nest, an old ruined keep. Forgotten and isolated, they share in undisturbed peace, their Love.
- "Ryngs Raccoon," 3" x 4" Pen & ink, Pencil, and Marker on Bristol. My Con-Badge. I think I gave my "EGO," a good likeness, with it being of galactic proportions *Evil Grin, hovers over the tiny Earth*... Nah, this is me contemplating the fate of the world, that's why I look sad. Such things have been weighing on me as of late. Well, for me Con season starts this weekend at a Sci-Fi con called "Name That Con," www.namethatcon.net Yay! To much partying ahead!
- "Silver Creek Raccoons" Pen & Ink. One of the illustrations I did for a story I wrote a few months ago. Don't eat the Gumbo, Never eat the Gumbo... You'll turn into to... To late...

- "Self Loathing," 18" x 24" Oil on masonite. I have never been comfortable with my appearance, who I'am, or even what I'am. I have refused to ever do a self-portrait as a result. I finally did one, and it was very therapeutic. Especially, when painted in Oils, that media will test your patients. The hand has just finished touching my face, leaving it with feelings of self-loathing, which I project at the viewer...
- "Silhouette," 5" x 7" pen & ink on paper. An advert for book "Breaking the Ice, Stories from New Tibet," (www.sofawolf.com) I was asked to do this on a moments notice, and basied on this discription : "Clouds blanket the sky. Snow covers the ground. The only warmth comes from the heart beating next to you...... would you trade him for a ticket off this frozen hellhole? Breaking The Ice: Six stories of love, death, and snow from New Tibet.Coming in January from Sofawolf Press."
- "Silver Raccoon," 3" x 4" Pen & Ink, and Marker on Bristol. Its almost Convention Season for me again. It just seemed like it ended last month. Well, this is the first Con-Badge of the season. *Grin* Oh well, here we go again.
- "Fancy Dance," Pen & Ink on Bristol. Is he a were-skunk performing some powerful Spiritual ritual? Is he calling on his mighty ancestral spirit? Summoning lighting sky to strike down non-believers?!... Nah, I think he's just trying to impress some girl at a pow-wow...
- "Summer Solstice," 8.5" x 11" Marker, Color pencil, and Ink. The Spirit of Summer, in the form of Coyote dances for Father Sun. As brother Eagle dose his seasonal dance on the winds, to ensure the continuation of the cycle of the year. Both dance with prayers of prosperity, and joy. Happy Summer Solstice...
- "Tar" pencil on paper.
- "Christmas Transformation," Pen & ink, & Digital. A Scrooge (like my-self), find that the Magic of Yule (Christmas), and the Holly King (Santa Clause) are real. Opening his eyes to the light, but turning him into a cute scruffy Raccoon. Seasons Greetings, and Happy whatever you practice. This is my yearly Christmas Card to you all, enjoy.
- "3 miles out," 8.5" x 11" Digital. This whole attack has been bothering me. I woke up last nite, to an erie silence, both in my room, and in my mind, and I finally broke and cried for those people. I'm angry, and sad. After the attack, it was reported that paper form the WTC was raining down up to 3 miles away. This cast an erie vision for me. Its like the trivial things in life were being cast away, so the souls of the dead, and dying may ascend unhindered to Heaven. Red Cross are asking for donations of Cloths, Shoes, and Blood. I feel I need to do something, my art is all I have.
- "The Tower," Photoshop, Another visit to the dude in the cloak, still don't know any more about him, I'm just a vessel for this creepy dude, and his 2 gryphons. I'm not sure about the glowing window, thats either something evil, or someone watching T.V. This pic is done entirely in PhotoShop 6.0 (I still hate digital art mind you, but I have a little more respect for it).
- "Transformation," 18" x 24" Acrylic on canvas. A spell is cast, and a dream is awaked, reality bends to the artist's will. The door way between possiblity is opened, and past through. The transformation complete, now what be thy will, to be done?..........

- "Shadow Dragon," 24" x 24" Acyrlic on masonite. This was is part of an CD cover for a metal band called "Vore," this is the inside cover, the front cover is not very furry, but its on my web site.
- "The Awakening," PhotoShop, the cloaked dude again, this was apparently when he first walked into the light, and his new exsistance. His two gryphon companions gliding the strange ever changing skies. Whatever that means, I'm just a vessel for his images. This is the new front page to my new website: http://www.rakune.com
