"Horned Toad Lady and the Coyote"

Below is a character sketch by artist Roy Boney, Jr., for Texas storyteller Eldrena Douma's telling of “Horned Toad Lady and Coyote.” You'll also find Roy's first-page rendition of that story.

Roy, a citizen of the Cherokee Nation in Tahlequah, Okla., recently had his illustrations "Cherokee Punk Rock" and "Our Father" published in Spirit magazine, a First Nations of Canada magazine that also includes American Indian tribes. (Also, check out Roy's Web site to see some of the wonderful animation he has done, including a few with Native American characters.)
