MORE ROADKILL
now, these were inspired by a book of indian fables i got from paperback book club. cool B/W illustrations that inspired me and i went off from there.
i have
armadillo
badger
bear 2 3
beaver
chicken
cheetah
coyote
buffalo
frog
dog
deer
fox
flying squirrel
eagle
loon
lion
moose
horse
rabbit 1 2 3 5
raccoon 1 2
giraffe
puma 2 3
porcupine 1 2 3
wolf
skunk
zebra
hippo
rhino
elephant (GOP GREEN for $$$)
monkey (tried to make look like georgie)
i took an native american history class at art school around the same time and my instructor who also worked at our public museum, gave me a menominee lexicon-menominee to english(roll eyes)
so all the american animals have menominee names(except the armadillo and chicken. had to create names. the armadillo is a rock pig and the chicken is a meat bird.)
the loon is because of a danish woman who also works in south africa, so i added them. they have swahili names.
