About the art: "Raccoon City" - by Dakota Daetwiler - 2025
I was inspired to paint this piece after I received such an awesome reaction from the raccoons in my 2024 Christmas painting. People seemed to love them, so I figured why not make a whole world of just raccoons? We have: (from top to bottom, left to right) The Capitalist, The Weary, The Thief, The Astronomer, The Vacationer, The Musician, The Scholar, The Artist, The Curious One, The Mad Scientist, and The Dozer. Which is your favorite? Mine are definitely the scholar, the scientist, and the astronomer.
I had an absolute blast painting this piece, I am trying this year to focus a lot more on original stylized paintings that come from my heart. This is definitely something I would have sat and stared at for a great while as a kid, which is always my goal when I paint.
- These are high quality prints of her original painting (copies) Not an original painting.

Traditional Canvas Print (Signed)
High quality inks and materials, these are the most popular. Canvas prints are hand stretched over wood by Dakota and look the most like traditional art. These take approximately 5-8 days to create, plus shipping time. These usually arrive at your door in about 2 weeks. Canvas prints come hand signed by Dakota with a card that has the name of the artwork and the date your canvas was created.
These will retain value the best out of any print options of her work.
Flat Photo Print (Signed)
Printed on high quality thick photo paper, these come hand signed by Dakota and ship the fastest. They will need to be framed before hanging as they are a flat rolled print. They are the most affordable option.
Dakota makes both of these prints in house, these are not made by some big box retailer. She makes sure each one is hand crafted with care, from the making of the wood frame (for canvas), stretching, stapling, signing... all done by her! The photo and canvas prints are made in her house on her 44" commercial giclee printer with high quality pigment, museum grade archival inks. She takes the time to make sure you will get the highest quality print possible.
