Coati in Chinese Calligraffiti
长鼻浣熊 -literally Long-nosed bear – is the name for the Coatimundi in Chinese.
The artist is a true-life Coati bite survivor, and Coati is his tag and the name on his Asian Calligraphy seals (chops).
Never trust Coatis in Honduras, and never stick your finger out to them if they are in a cage in a random gas station near El Progresso. Remember the long nose?

C監房 – Cell Block C Japanese Version
C監房 – Cell Block C Japanese Version, written to express opposition to the current abusive treatment of immigrants that is reminiscent of the treatment of Japanese Americans during World War II, such as at the artist’s home town, Salinas, CA, and the Minidoka Internment Camp in Idaho. 私たちは疲れ果てた者たちを
貧しき者たちを自由に息をす
ることを渇望し身を寄せ合う
群衆を裏切った彼らは今も追
われ打ちのめされC監房の中
で息をしようともがいているWe betrayed the exhausted and the poor—
the throngs who huddled together,
yearning to breathe freely.
Even now, hounded and battered,
they struggle to draw breath
within the confines of Cell Block C.Original Art by Jared Hawk
