The Backyard Roosters of Saint Paul is a collection of portraits and stories documenting 45 of Saint Paul, Minnesota's finest whimsical roosters. Their stories mark them as leaders in their avian community. Susan Gainen is a Whimsical Wildlife Documentarian whose Prime Directive is to Spread Whimsy. Her living room studio is on a path and flyway well-traveled by creatures who drop in to sit for portraits, tell stories, and (all too often), eat her snacks. Some eat-and-run; others stay for years. By giving Saint Paul's Roosters an opportunity to tell their stories through her writing and watercolor portraits, she has their uncovered hidden talents and unusual stories. Among her subjects are Robert the Tap Dancing Rooster (on his way to Broadway to be the world's first tap dancing rooster), several "Cousin Charlie" Roosters, French Rooster, two Stained Glass Roosters, Two Blue Rooster Cousins (big supporters of public radio stations that play Bluegrass, Blues and Jazz), several roosters from The Lost Cave Paintings of Saint Paul, a Rooster from Hyperspace, two 3D Roosters, Ready-to-Rock Rooster (always looking for gigs for his band, the Rockin' Roosters), Glowing Rooster (not radioactive), Marsala Rooster, Green Tail Rooster, Piano Man Rooster, Blue Crystal Rooster, and Bright Fan Tail Rooster. All of the images in the book are for sale in one form or another: originals (when available), prints, cards, cool products at zazzle.com, and fabric and other products at spoonflower.com.
