The Coyote Series was born in June of 1986 after Markus heard the Joni Mitchell song “Coyote.” He loved it, played it often, and memorized the words. The focus of the song, a guy referred to as “Coyote,” is a reckless, footloose Casanova-type fellow – Pierson aspired to be the carefree romancer described in those lyrics. Then he did something he’d never done before or since: Markus made a drawing of a song. © Markus Pierson.
