Description
I wanted to do a drawing inspired by the legend of How the coyote stole fire from the fire people and gave fire to the world. According to the story he fashioned a headress made from straw which caught fire and then passed to the fox, wolf and antelope in a relay. When I tried to imagine a relay with a staw headress on fire I could only imagine the third degree burns I would need to be treated for.So I gave him a stick instead.
Safety First.

I prefer your interpretation of the story as well, animals in flaming headdresses just doesn't sound so healthy. Your colors are amazing, you have some serious skills. Most impressive...
