Lucky Boy Print

Lucky Boy is a coati art print featuring artwork by Carolyn Schmitz — a coati with a patchwork desert hat and a darkling beetle friend.

While nosing around, a curious coati mundi bumps into a darkling beetle wearing a shabby fedora. They instantly become friends and set off toward the Wild Hat Celebration.

His hat is a patchwork of cactus fiber, devil's-claw, fairy duster, screwbean mesquite, datura pods, a nopalito and a bright vermilion flycatcher feather. Along the way they gather milkweed, globemallow, acacia, salvia, palo verde, Tahoka daisies, desert phlox, broom dalea and tufted grasses, plus a sprig of allthorn.

The story on the back tells of their camaraderie and good-luck charm.

Printed with archival pigment-based inks on museum-grade cotton rag paper.
