In this vintage #CoatiMonday convention sketchbook picture, FA/Amethyst answers the question, what if my wife and I were cute? Like, *really* cute? https://www.furaffinity.net/view/7923881/

Originally done at Morphicon 2012, which was the last of those conventions I missed because I was too busy getting ready for our wedding to spend a weekend out in Ohio.

For #CoatiMonday enjoy this actual rubber coati, just like everyone wants. This balata rubber figure is one of three that I got at the Smithsonian National Zoo in 1999. I don't know why it has stripes down the back.

It's a bit whitened with age; for proper care it needs to be rubbed with skin lotion now and then and I haven't been reliable about that.

This #CoatiMonday my friend DeeterRabbit on birdsite ponders the question, what if I were anthro ... and buff? He thinks I might just look a little something ... like this.

Deeter's an old friend (I shared a room with him at ConFurence East II, in 1996!) and would like to see a bit more toon muscle on me. (I feel like a 1980s action figure doll.)

(Picture CW: partial eye contact, toon)

For the #CoatiMonday before Christmas, sharing an old gift. @/[email protected] found this delightful shotglass and thought of me.

I like having the chance to show off coatis as climbing animals since it's rather fun to hang around like this.

This #CoatiMonday I send the hope you were able to see some good holiday decorations and share in the spirit of joyful light.

My own art, and for a change, one where I tried doing a lot of stuff and it mostly came out like I imagined it would. Really feel myself punching above my weight, this picture, thanks in large part to ProCreate's 'light pen' brush and other special effects brushes.

A #CoatiMonday for meeting your heroes! I forgot last week was the anniversary of Popeye's debut, so, have this now. It's my own art ( https://www.furaffinity.net/view/38887320/ ) disputing whether coatis are Jeeps and there's a fair case for it.

(There's some resemblance but my suspicion is when Elzie Segar designed Jeeps he was thinking of a way he could draw Krazy Kat in his own strip. He and Krazy Kat's cartoonist were fans of each other.)

Getting around this #CoatiMonday! FA/techno. was doing some round icons and who can resist being a ball?

Fun fact: my player has such tight hamstrings that he can't even *look* at this picture.

This #CoatiMonday FA/breakerfa again envisions me, with the physique I could have if I were anthro and didn't like eating bagels so much!

Inking by FA/Lodoss-12. https://www.furaffinity.net/view/45806976/ for the original.

(Odd fact: the pose was inspired by that _Catdog_ episode where Cat decides to bulk up.)

Happy Valentine's #CoatiMonday! Ages ago @bunnydoe commissioned this Couples Convention Badge and we still fail to coordinate wearing it.

It's *still*, years on, an accurate rendition of how I keep looking at her. I regret I don't remember who DW here was.

Also yes, we are very like this as couples and I understand the people who've had enough of it, but it's how we feel.

A #CoatiMonday featuring a con badge my dear bride commissioned from Kalinka at the last FurFright. She thought I'd never have a chance to wear it but Motor City Furry Con, theoretically a spring convention, is usually wintery enough to need it.

And I just found a scan of it by Kalinka is at https://www.furaffinity.net/view/13128749/

This #CoatiMonday gift from my darling dear BunnyHugger is a coati carved from a nut (I forget the kind); bits of the shell make the nose. It's precious and beautiful.

The extensions on the snout may represent whiskers (we don't usually have tusks), or might have been something the carver needed to handle the material. I can't say for sure.

I took a bunch of photographs and they all washed out detail. Come over my place and you can get a good look at it.

Comfort this #CoatiMonday, thanks to Alex_J_Cleret on birdsite drawing my common impulse to try and help. It's usually my first impulse and I don't always know, or have much, I can do, but it's there.

Also I really like how I look in purples.

This #CoatiMonday is another gift from my dear bride. It's a rubber stamp that expresses a universal sentiment.

It's one of two stamps made about 15 years ago by Rubber Hedgehog and I set it in the paws of my old NABCO coati plush to give a sense of scale, for those who know how big the NABCO plush is. (The plush is about six inches tall; the stamp is maybe an inch and a half across.)

Another Rubber Hedgehog-made stamp, and gift from my wife, this #CoatiMonday. This stamp has a good bit of use, as my identifying mark for letterboxing.

Letterboxing is a geocaching-like hobby, about finding hidden journals to stamp. Most folks carve their own stamps; I used this because I wasn't sure I would do enough to make carving worthwhile. I should retire this in favor of something homemade, but keep not having the time or energy.

I bring a piece of my own art ( https://www.furaffinity.net/view/47153051/ ) so #CoatiMonday can properly observe #MerMay. The fish half is loosely based on sturgeons, which you never see used for mermaids, because I'm just like that.

This also was part of what's been my most-accomplished week of FurAffinity uploads. I'm *stunned* and so happy with how close this comes to what it looked like in my head.

My own art again this #CoatiMonday. It's me trying to help Zukaro, the wax robot fox, calm an anxiety that, for them, is actually justified. (They have a hard time dealing with feet.) Original at https://www.furaffinity.net/view/47282393/

Zukaro and a lot of melty art are at https://www.furaffinity.net/gallery/zukarotravon/

A winner is this #CoatiMonday! LunaTheCute did this line art of Austin having snagged a sandwich. The illustration was a prize won at Furry Bingo this year during Motor City Furry Con and it's a delight to have a fresh picture of me doing one of my favorite activities, bringing joy to whoever just had a sandwich before.

By the way if you ever need cheering up look for videos of 'coati steals sandwich'. You're welcome.

#CoatiMonday today features an old Patreon reward, a postcard sketch by FA/Slickpuppy, from back when I was flush with cash and thought I'd have ideas for monthly sketches forever. (I ran out of ideas after the second month and Slickpuppy suspended his Patreon after that.)

Note the crescent moon on the foreleg there; this is the rare picture showing what I'd once tried to make a motif of my character.

Leaping into summer this #CoatiMonday. This gorgeous picture was generously done by @/[email protected] and shows one of my favorite activities. Original at https://www.furaffinity.net/view/47668808/

Being painted is my most idiosyncratic special interest, and I'm happy to have any pictures that showcase it.

This #CoatiMonday is part of a complete breakfast! And thanks to PatchO'Black, on SpinDizzy Muck, whose fun recent paint job landed me this tasty cereal mascoati job. This is another piece of my own art (see https://www.furaffinity.net/view/47863795/ ) but, uh, watch this space.

I'd *love* to do something in the style of 70s Rocky-and-Bullwinkle Cheerios comic book ads, but I lack the expertise in serial cartooning.

It's a summertime #CoatiMonday, as wax robot fox FA/ZukaroTravon and I beat the heat by completely surrendering to it. This is my own illustration, done with a surprisingly successful experiment in digital watercolors, as seen at https://www.furaffinity.net/view/46058800/

I owe Zukaro thanks for rekindling my interest in melting/liquid scenes and getting me to draw them.

Keeping cool this #CoatiMonday, thanks to FA/techno. kindly giving me a lovely marble-and-gold goop coating. Remember to keep the hottest sun off of you!

I don't know that the picture's posted on a proper gallery.

Gosh it sure would be unthinkable and embarrassing if this goop congealed into a solid mass leaving me a statue for the week, wouldn't it?

Enjoying a happy summer shower this #CoatiMonday with my own art, and experiment in drawing weather.

Done partly as Vahno-on-Birdsite was encouraging about my shiny art and my big fat foot-covering boots, so I looked for an excuse to do a little more of that. I'm sure it's a wild coincidence that I come out looking as shiny as the rubber boots and yellow hat here. Also because /@balloonpup has a lot of rubber characters who wear rain gear and I wanted in.

Enjoy seeing less of me this #CoatiMonday as I get into the invisible paint. This was fun but hard, because I had to keep thinking about what to show. The paint bucket particularly made my head hurt to think about.

I drew the snout differently this time, with more of a Preston Blair influence. Not sure if it works, but it's got a fun line to it.

A gifted #CoatiMonday; this is one of a sweet set of vinyl coati stickers my dear bride gave as an anniversary present.

I haven't decided what I'll do with the stickers beyond appreciating them and the desire to share them with me.

Having a bit of fun hanging out poolside with @/Eon, your inflatable friend, this #CoatiMonday! Also with one of those padlock stickers that people are so silly about putting on null toys. Anyway look how happy toy is hanging out like this.

My own art and wow but I feel good about how this came out.

CW: mindplay/hypnosis theme; consenting but one might read it as accidental.
