The Fox and the Eggby `ursulav

Anthro / Traditional Media / Painting & Airbrushing

I've never quite figured out what's up with the blind jesters. (I'm not even sure if they're CALLED the blind jesters.) They seem to be a multi-species bunch, they all wear checkerboard-edged robes that cover their eyes, Quick the donkey may be one (but he's a neophyte if he is) but that's about all I know.

I suspect they're an order akin to mendicant monks, and they find a lot of things amusing. I'm also not entirely sure I want to see under the hoods. I mean, it's probably nothing, they seem like a mostly good-natured bunch but....well...I can't completely rule out that there's something uncomfortable under there.

They wander into Gearworld occasionally, but they aren't from there.

I wonder if they know the Monks of Perdition (or hell, maybe they ARE the Monks of Perdition...that would make a certain kind of sense...)

8 x 8 mixed media on gessoboard. Over the years I've done a fair number of animals in this sort of costume, and I'm still no closer to figuring out where they're all from.

Original is probably going to AC, but is for sale. Prints available for $10 plus shipping. Send a note or visit [link] for details!

So there's a story behind these pictures?

I always kind of assumed they were the Monks od Perdition, myself....

Why is it so thoughtfully contemplating this egg?

I am a sucker for these checkered-robe critters whenever you post them. I have the print of the donkey and goldfish in my kitchen, and everyone loves it. My friend John Snyder (comic book illustrator) was admiring the rocks last time he was over.
