Raccoon Pen & Ink Greeting Card by Gene Irvin (1934–2026)

Raccoon | Greeting Card by Gene Irvin (1934–2026)

This is Gene at his most playful. The Raccoon peers out with that unmistakable masked face — the bright, curious eyes rendered in fine pen & ink with soft watercolor washes. Gene captures the animal's sly intelligence and the salt-and-pepper texture of its coat, giving the piece a warmth and character that has made it a longtime favorite.

Raccoons are among the most adaptable mammals in North America, thriving everywhere from dense forests and marshes to city neighborhoods across the continent, including throughout the American Southwest. Their nimble front paws and long fingers let them forage a remarkably varied diet — fruit, plants, crayfish, frogs, insects, and eggs — and their problem-solving skills are the stuff of backyard legend.

Available in:
