Firstly, to answer the question for all those who are asking — "Blue Coyote"? And secondly....

"GraphX" is the word I've used with anything graphic design since I started as a teenager. Clearly, it's stayed with me. It's currently bringing you to BlueCoyote, the domain name I snagged after my dogs took over my RabidJackal.Com domain name.

Being as focused on dogs as I am and have been for 20+ years... and being focused on the breeds we cohabitate with (now and in the past — Schipperkes) — Siberian Husky crossed with Alaskan Malamute — called an Alusky.... We are in near constant "hostage negotiations".

Say what?? Training an Alusky commands as you would a "normal" dog, Aluskies always demand to know what's in it for them. If it's not agreeable, you — the human — have to up the anti until it satisfies an Alusky's tummy.... 

How else do wild/undomesticated dogs such as jackals, coyotes and wolves communicate?

They howl, lay their ears back, snarl their lips to bare their teeth, wag their tails and stare, unblinking in their eye contact.

In our Alusky's case — Sasin aka "Sassy" — will get vocal by saying "rar rar rar" (repeatedly...) as if she were human while she looks you straight in the eye and flicks the tip of her tail.

In metaphysics, the throat chakra is represented by the color blue.

My answer to "blue coyote?" doesn't get any more simplified than I like the color blue and I like coyotes — and coyote-shaped substances.

We've committed ourselves to being taken hostage by howling dog breeds who refuse to understand the word "no".

Our Aluskies and other previous purebreds and Husky crosses have taken over my old website so us humans ended up getting our own websites — BlueCoyote.Xyz OrionEngnr.Com. Please visit our dogs on RabidJackal.Com.

An old friend introduced me to her dog daycare facilitator, Sherri. This led to that and *POOF* I'm using my recently upgraded craft art studio for making tote bags for her clients to bring their dogs' leashes, medications, food, water and other overnight needs. This has done wonders for my physical needs in my stroke recovery.
     So now... I chose BlueCoyote to be where all my energy goes. It stays in line with my preference to keep things K9 related. My artistry in all forms will be in one place now; this includes all my photography back from when I was an avid photographer out and about.
     Now, 5+ years after surviving a hemorrhagic stroke, I had given up on "professional physical therapy" because all the professional therapists ultimately admitted that there are too many variables to everyone's personal variables. Considering I already had a traumatic brain injury, I came to realize only I know what my body needs at any given time.
     It was my body and brain working independently of ME that seized an opportunity to take advantage of sales to where I made my studio upgrades. It's in the needing to use my stroke affected body's left side that led me to using both hands to accomplish tasks without thinking. It's when you think — focus on one particular detail —your brain seizes up and me leaves you a drooling vegetable where your brain is sending signals into an abyss that resembles a painful, thorny briar patch of nerve signals not knowing where to go.

I found the best physical and occupational therapies for my recovery is crafting! I seized an opportunity to upgrade my Cricut Explorer 1 to a Cricut Maker 3. I scored some really good deals on eBay, Amazon and HTVRont to further my crafting studio to a include heat press designed for hats and for coffee mugs and tumblers. I also purchased a 10"x10" heat press that has already earned its keep!
     After my first try at sublimation printing and heat pressing an angelic image to a tote bag per the request of a friend, this friend then introduced me to her friend who runs a doggy day care. Before I knew what was going on, I was producing tote bags for her clients! Now they always have a decent sized bag for leashes, clean up bags, medication, food, treats, water bottles and bowls.
