The Collector Print

Everyone in the desert has an opinion about hats! In this humorous scene a deer, coyote, badger, ground squirrel, raccoon and roadrunner debate whether javelinas have invented a new fashion trend.

A hat is just an artsy upside-down nest, quips the roadrunner while a raven proposes a costume ball. Though no single animal takes center stage, the print celebrates the spirit of collaboration and the excitement of the forthcoming competition.

The story on the back recounts their lively conversation and names the desert flora used in later hats.

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