Hi! I really liked your Mayan Jaguar drawing and was wondering if you would be up for doing a paid commission? I'm looking to have a Mayan drawing done in this style to hang in my living room. Email me or message me if you're up for it! popethepontiff@gmail.com

Thanks so much for your email. I am surprised that it is liked so well. I am sorry but I am not doing any commission work now for this year due to grad school and internships. I actually have not had time to even do much sketching. I am sorry that I am not available at this time but I have hopes that after I graduate in Dec. of 2012, that I will be able to return to making art. I hope that you might still be interested. If so, please do contact. I am sorry for the inability to do as you request.
Thank you very much for liking my work.
Kat

Its beautiful glass. It looks a lot like the kind I use. Just love the fox. He looks like the one around my parents house, all big and fluffy!

princevulpine In reply to FireKat [2009-02-09 19:06:03 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, The fox is Kokomo glass, and the grass is waterglass, the background and border is baroque...
I LOVE foxes. Someday, I either want to live somewhere where they are common, or have some as pets...
To me, foxes are like the perfect blend between a dog and a cat...

I have been amazed to see so many as pets on YouTube. My parents have several around their property. One, before they fenced in their property, used to follow my father around. He fed him cat chow. Oh, he was cute, especially when he would sit on the picnic table outside of my parents room and scream his bloody head off at 3 am. Yup, cute. My mother threw many a slipper at his head.

princevulpine In reply to FireKat [2009-02-11 11:29:28 +0000 UTC]

LOL... That is awesome. Yeah, I don't know if I would have one as a pet, I would rather them be wild and get used to us, like in your case. I love the sound of nature, I used to sleep outside either in a tent or on the ground many a summer.
A yelping fox sounds pretty fun about now...
Maybe he was yelping for another slipper, yum... hehehe

I was also amazed to see so many Fennic Foxes as pets as well. They are sure cute in a small, Chihuahua like dog. They seem to be big in Japan too as pets, just like the equally cute tenuki dog.
Luckily, the fox that hangs around my parents place does not have a taste for slippers, but he sure does love old cat chow.

princevulpine In reply to FireKat [2009-02-12 21:07:47 +0000 UTC]

yeah you can google fox as pets, and I one website was giving good tips. They were talking about how to fennec proof your home and only let them out of their cage when you are around, but they are totally indoor pets.
When I was growing up, We lived in a woods, and when the water levels were REALLY low, the raccoons would get bold and come up to steal the kitty chow. I guess food is food...

Do you know of the book "The Daily Coyote" by Shreve Stockton? It is a great little book about a woman who adopts a 10 day old coyote pup and raises him. I was in Borders the other day and saw it. I did not buy it but paged through it. It looks like a wonderful story and the coyote seems like such a good pet.

i'll have to take a looksy, if our library doesn't have it, i'll request it! I never really thought of them as a pet, although they seem to be somewhere betwix a fox and a wolf, by looks and actions anyway...
They are making a comeback here in Indiana. I know of quite few people that hunt them. I don't judge. Now if it were foxed being hunted, I might get even more upset.
visit my myspace page, my profile pic is an animation of a fox that I put together. [link]
Oh, yeah, I love frogs, too. But who doesn't

This coyote, in the book, is very cute. I have even found some videos on You Tube with him. His name is Charlie and he lives in a cabin with his owner and a cat. Very cute.
There has been an influx of coyote near where my parents live in Pa. They are quiet and darker than usual coyote. They do not howl and bark and they are a dark grey with a almost black stripe down their back. It just goes to show how adaptable they are.
Have you ever heard of Dmitri Belyaev? He did interesting work with foxes and genetics in Russia. You can see it on You Tube or type in Russian Tame Foxes. You can see how breeding foxes to be sweet and docile actually changed them physically.

Oh and yes, frog are cute. I love the tree frogs my grandmother had down in South Carolina.

princevulpine In reply to FireKat [2009-02-18 14:55:36 +0000 UTC]

wow, that is so amazing, yes, I saw that on PBS or something.
They think that certain physical traits are directly genetically connected to behavioral traits. They were bizarre looking. black and white, salt and pepper. I didn't know that was his name...
Where my parents live in northern Indiana, all sort of animals have made a comeback in the last ten years. Coyote, eagles, sandhill cranes, turkeys, pheasants, and more.
I love the sound of the spring peeper frogs, they are so cute and tiny, but they are deafening in the spring.

FireKat In reply to princevulpine [2009-02-19 04:03:59 +0000 UTC]

Yes, my parents too, get peepers. Certainly not here in NYC though sometimes I have heard a bull frog at the duck pond. The tree frogs were great to catch because if you had a lamp next to a window, it would bring bugs and then frogs. They are so sticky.
Nothing beats the ones though in Puerto Rico. They are so loud, they make your brain hurt.

princevulpine In reply to FireKat [2009-02-19 11:25:02 +0000 UTC]

Brain hurt!? WOW that sounds crazy. I want a coi pond someday, with a little watterfall. I like the sound of running water. And they attract frogs! I was researching all the coi pond stuff, and I didn't realize that bullfrogs are cannibals, yuck! So, to bring frogs to a coi pond, you need two things, and shallow area away from the coi for the tadpoles to incubate and make sure the tadpoles are NOT bullfrog tadpoles!

FireKat In reply to princevulpine [2009-02-20 03:08:13 +0000 UTC]

One of my mother's neighbors has big ass koi. But ever time there is a heavy rain, some get washed into the stream or of late, the coyote have been fishing them out. The koi really are not that smart and since she hand feeds them, they come right over to you.
I like my friends bass pond better. The little bass follow you around and around the side of the pond. I collect worms from her garden and the bass come right up and practically leap out of the water for the worms.
You can wait till the koi are bigger before you get bullfrogs. You can also let the tadpoles grow away from the fish till they are bigger.
