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.

It's a Saturday Morning #CoatiMonday! projectionedge@birdsite generously drew this fine nostalgia piece during one of his streams ( https://twitter.com/projectionedge/status/1534005858937360384 ) and, accurately, picked out one of those 70s Hanna-Barbera cartoons I couldn't get enough of.

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

For the #CoatiMonday right before our anniversary, I share a drawing I did of me with my dear bride BunnyHugger, being happy together. This is one of our favorite pastimes.

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.

Fresh breakfast this #CoatiMonday? FA/techno. saw the cereal mascoati picture that I posted several weeks ago, and kindy decided to do it, but better! I'm always impressed by lineless art and the way they captured the look of 1960s Toucan Sam is astounding.

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.

Hanging around waiting for launch this #CoatiMonday, with another vinyl sticker my bride gave me as an anniversary gift. I *love* this pose; it's such a great nonanthro-animal-hanging-out look.

Keeping cool again this #CoatiMonday, thanks to FA/techno. who didn't just draw this in marble-and-gold (that I shared months ago) but also did this blue-and-purple variant. Remember to keep the hottest sun off of you!

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

A statuesque #CoatiMonday as I share my own picture of me somehow a block of living marble. It's a fun way to hang out and prank pigeons!

A while back someone messing around on FurryMuck flashed me with a Medusa Head, with no idea that I was going to run with that. You never expect how many people will ask why you're able to move and talk and all. I choose to think they're worried for me rather than wishing I were inert.

Another #CoatiMonday showing off that sweet cereal mascoati gig! FA/techno. didn't create just the one image of me with a bowl of breakfast cereal, but did a color variant that's got a similar yet not identical vibe. Great fun to have a bit of variety, though, as part of your complete breakfast.
For this special #CoatiMonday another gift: another of the vinyl stickers that my dear bride gave to me on our anniversary.
And enjoy a late bit of breakfast this #CoatiMonday, with one more representation by FA/techno. who so kindly created a pitch-perfect representation of a fun little gig.

One of my own doodles this #CoatiMonday, depicting one of the minor burdens of having such a great tail: fans who'll want it all for themselves. Yes, it's a struggle, but I endure it because it is worth the struggle.

Going for a good stretch this #CoatiMonday. I have an elastic side I don't play enough and I'm trying to get that fixed. So this picture is based on the title panel for the story 'Bubble Gum' in Plastic Man #11, https://comicbookplus.com/?dlid=19957 page 15.

I posted it at https://www.furaffinity.net/view/49082066/ too. It's made me realize there's potential in ripping off^W^W studying Jack Cole's work for my own use.

Isn't that always the way? You find a great @Eon costume for a Halloween #CoatiMonday and then Eon is nowhere to be found.

Toy was so kind as to let me put it on, and draw this, as you can see at https://www.furaffinity.net/view/49430374/ and this is one of the rare pictures where I'm just happy at how *everything* came out. A picture is never quite how you imagine it'll look, but this came much closer than anything else I've drawn the past month.

Another of my own illustrations this #CoatiMonday --- https://www.furaffinity.net/view/49695354/ --- of me with my favorite person, my wife. Drawn as a small gift for her birthday this past week.

A long while ago she mentioned a passing fancy of holding a tiny me and I finally illustrated it. (Somehow I usually tend to be the giant one.) You can pick whether this is a giant BunnyHugger or a tiny me, or both.

Another of my own pictures this #CoatiMonday, this time a copy I did from https://brevardzoo.org/animals/rainforest-revealed/white-nosed-coatimundi/ in the hopes of getting better to understand the beauty of the coati jaw and also just how wild our noses are. They're really splendid, aren't they? Bonus good stuff: the tongue!

For this #CoatiMonday please enjoy two porcelain coati figures, apparently the same mould but slightly different after being fired. And painted.

The naturalistic-colored one was a gift from my dear bride to me months ago and I've shown it before. The Delft-style one on the right is one she bought recently and for herself.

Any resemblance to a before-and-after petrifaction sequence is coincidental.

For #CoatiMonday I repeat myself, sharing a dancing picture I did for Charles Schulz's centennial, seen also at https://www.furaffinity.net/view/49974562/

Peanuts is the oldest thing I remember being a fan of; I can't remember a time before I could read and what I read was this comic strip. I can't say how happy I am to be able to draw a decent picture of Snoopy myself.

Sharing a gift from my wife an a souvenir from Mexico City this #CoatiMonday. The coati magnet and the thought balloon are gifts from dear BunnyHugger. The goldfish-shaped magnet with the rabbit that's suspiciously close to her look on it is a souvenir she picked up back in 2018.

The fridge they are on is a Kenmore picked up from the Sears down the road in 2019 after we thought carefully about whether they'd be around the whole twelve-month warranty lifespan. They were not.

Spending a cozy #CoatiMonday this week, wrapped up in my own art. It's based on the 'blanket burrito' technique often used to bundle up an animal for veterinary care, and seemed like it'd be fun to try out. https://www.furaffinity.net/view/49560353/

I'm helpful this #CoatiMonday! Vahno's been content or even happy as a Free Will Drone, but they still have some adjustments to make in not having a face or mouth or such.

Free Will Drones are an idea we've been roughing out, and it's like you think, a rubber drone that isn't compelled to be someone's toy or maid or such. Just someone with low initiative and less intense personality. They enjoy it, in their way.

A bit of a redraw #CoatiMonday for me as I revisit the 'Austin in galoshes' look. I like the idea and am trying to get a handle on avoiding drawing paws by covering them in things. https://www.furaffinity.net/view/50717135/ for my upload of this to FurAffinity, or https://blimps.xyz/@Austin_Dern/108708906162261316 for the earlier take.

I was curious about Ecco the Dolphin and FA/techno. was happy to guide me around! A fun picture with a rare alternate body for me this #CoatiMonday, as I try on a more aquatic life than typical. Art by FA/techno. and I'll include a URL when it's posted to their gallery.

Back to my own art this #CoatiMonday, about that time I got to box @Eon! Toy's always so kind to go along with my silly ideas like this.

This one I feel like I did the folds and shine lines on Eon's face unusually well; so much of pooltoy art is about these little streaks of dark and light to suggest the material. A dark line with a light line on the layer underneath does *so* much.

Having a brilliant time this #CoatiMonday! A picture of a stained-glass cat sculpture that was going around here ( https://mstdn.social/@BadgerBadger/109927273293059764 ) left me figuring I could do that too, and so here I did. Original at https://www.furaffinity.net/view/51225687/ for your reference.

I loved doing this and want to do more with translucent textures. Will probably revisit the theme now that I've learned some things about how to do it.

An expert opinion this #CoatiMonday as @hexadoodle, professional limb appreciator, examines one of the many understated wonders of the coati form, our naturally reversible feet! Raccoons and squirrels have the same arrangement and it's fun when someone discovers that.

My own art ( https://www.furaffinity.net/view/51301935/ ) and my most challenging picture yet as there's *three* hands touching stuff.

And thanks to Hexadoodle for letting me play with a wonderful frog who is just *so* *much* *fun* to draw.

Hi, plush.city! Embarrassed to realize I failed to ever share this so I'll make it up this #CoatiMonday.

It's a party-ready #CoatiMonday today! inflatessimal@birdsite was so good as to draw me as a mylar balloon, helium-filled and ready to join whatever the celebration is!

Love those seams, love those scallops, and love the rare chance to see a mylar version of me.

Enjoy the happy evanescence of a delicate #CoatiMonday! I knew that this soap-bubble commission from @frengers was going to be one of the best I ever got, but underestimated just how exquisite it would be.

This is so much a puff of air slightly contained in films of soap and water that it's a joy however long I look at it.

New month, new slapstick! After the sublime last #CoatiMonday FA/Lunara-Toons helped me get in touch with my cartoon side with an image based on a scene from the 1939 Merrie Melody _Porky's Tire Trouble_ (https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7xefuj at about 5:20). It's a great moment of stretchy, rubbery action. Being purple was Lunara-Toons's inspiration but it nicely fits my interest in being novel colors.

Enjoy some solid private time this #CoatiMonday with a picture by FA/techno., showing me curling up, listening to a little music, and feeling all secure that nothing troublesome is going to get through to me anytime soon.

And, for those worried about the epoxy here, please don't. This used up the last of the bottles so there's nothing going to waste. Also it's a five-CD model there playing burned MP3s so the soundtrack isn't going to be repetitive anytime soon.

A small embarrassment this #CoatiMonday: when people asked what kind of coati I am I've offered 'banana-nosed coati' and just recently checked and learned it's an idiosyncratic description! People write about white-nosed coatis but not the banana-nosed kind.

Well, I extend my thanks to FA/techno., who gifted me with a definitive picture of Austin the banana-nosed coati.

Here's a #CoatiMonday feature you won't want to duck! It's always a thrill, for artist and commissioner, is asking them to just run amuck with your character and see what happens! Panda Jenn delighted me with this beautiful piece based on one of those body goals I've had since childhood.

Tote your way this #CoatiMonday! Part of an art trade with FA/techno., their fox-corvid DJ RFX takes me for a walk in the Cat Tote Bag. The bag is a curiosity I saw in a 1946 comic, where it's presented as a way someone would transport their cat somehow.

Feeling in the pink this #CoatiMonday! A while back a friend painted me pink and I've found I look rather nice that way, and don't even mind the constant Henry Mancini soundtrack. Original picture at https://www.furaffinity.net/view/51429526/

I hope the #CoatiMonday finds you well; me, I'm in the midst of summer and enjoying the melty weather. My own art. https://www.furaffinity.net/view/51767279/

Don't worry about my body integrity, this kind of thing happens *all* the *time*.

@Austin_Dern Your adorably hapless but interested look here is perfect.
@Chiaroscuro Toting is one of the under-appreciated things to do!
@Austin_Dern Hm. That depends. Does your door open inwards or outwards? ;3
@lusrangifer Well, it’s not opening inwards *now* …
@Austin_Dern
I wonder if that's a reference to Banananose Maldonado from the Muppet Show...

@KinkyTurtle A character I had forgotten! Thank you for the reminder.

But no, I just like bananas a good bit is all and have a fantastic nose.

@Austin_Dern Well I'd have to say the look's got appeal.
@XyzzySqrl Right? I've been hoping people would see that!
@Austin_Dern My pleasure! But next time, I suggest we do something a little more engaging, like watching paint dry. 😛
@chasetheredfox Oh I am *very* into paint, don't worry!
@Austin_Dern ... I really want to pull the string and see what happens. Squeaky noises? Cheesy music? Suddenly opening maw and devouring whoever pulled it?
@frostwolf Oh, now, how could a tiny morsel of wolf fit inside a plush, however ravenous? You clearly have nothing to worry about ...
@Austin_Dern I mean, plushes are kinda stretchy sometimes, and have lots of room in there,,
@Austin_Dern oooh! Stained glass is always lovely.
@frostwolf Thank you! It's a tricky thing to do, mostly because it takes more drawing and more fiddling with the color palette. But I like the effect; it's lovely and unearthly.
