About the image -
The painting reads, “After Four Months of Fanatical Planning, Clyde Clauclippers Masterpiece, His Magnum Opus, The Masquerade Ball, Had BeenUnveiled, and Horace Found Himself Unprepared. Oh Sure, His Costume WasSpot On Target, Rolling, Puffy White Cuffs, And Collar, Badly Striped Sleeves And The Perfect Chapeau - But That Was Only His Outer Costume. He Was Masquerading On The Inside As Well, Though Not Very Well, And HisDiscomfort Was Beginning To Show. His Fur Was Standing Up At Attention Like A Military Drill Team After A Coffee Break, His Palms Were SweatingLike A Sumo Wrestler On Safari, His Tongue Was Swelled Up And Twisted Like A Dusty Pink Sofa Cushion Left In The Care Of An Antsy Pent-Up Child. Conversation Would Be More Difficult Than Riding A Blind Pig WithA Sprained Ankle Backwards To Victory In The Kentucky Derby. All Because \"She\" Was There, Straight Off The Puffy Cloud In The Heaven ThatNo Doubt Was Her Home.”
Her Name Was Henrietta Forthwright, And The Mere Sight Of Her Made Horace Alternately Numb With Joy And Paralyzed By Fear, Both Of These Causing Great Muscle Control Difficulties. Horace Was Just About To Run Away By Dragging Himself Out The Door Using The Only Muscle Group That Hadn\'t Abandoned Him, His Ear Muscles, When Clyde Suddenly Announced The Winning Number In The Raffle.The Prize Was Dinner For Two At The Ritz And, Wouldn\'t You Know, HoraceHad The Winning Number. Problem Was, He Was Standing Right Next To Henrietta And Thus His Lips Were Numb And His Tongue Was So Swollen ThatIt Looked As If He Had Stuffed A Flock Of Flamingos In His Mouth. And Then It Happened - Henrietta Smiled, Put Her Hand On His Shoulder, Announced, ‘Oh Hey, Horace And I Won!’ And The Heavens Burst Open And Swallowed Him Up Whole, Tongue And All. At Least That\'s How It Felt To Him.”

MarkusPierson
Markus Pierson was born in 1961 and raised in the smallfarming town of Grand Ledge, Michigan, where his father owned a popularrestaurant. A self-proclaimed reckless “racer”, Markus was the youngest andmost challenging of the four Pierson children.
While a student, an encouraging art teacher swung wide the door to Markus’talent and profoundly moved him. However, the Grand Ledge art scene wassomewhat lacking, leading Markus to take on a number of odd jobs beforeaccidentally stumbling upon accounting as a means to making a living. After anear-fatal bout with Crohn’s Disease in early 1985, he declared that theaccountant was “dead” and in his place was a man pursuing his dream of becominga successful artist.
The Coyote Series was born in June of 1986, after Markus heard the JoniMitchell 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, footlooseCasanova type fellow – Pierson aspired to be the carefree romancer described inthose lyrics. Then he did something he’d never done before or since: Markusmade a drawing of a song.
