Tony Hillerman novels and posters

illustrated by Ernest Franklin

When southwestern mystery author Tony Hillerman first saw the likenesses of his characters Jim Chee and Joe Leaphorn he was delighted and said, "His watercolor Leaphorn and my imagined one were virtually identical… Chee was a different matter…Then one day Ernie Bulow showed me a copy of Skinwalkers which Ernie Franklin has illustrated. There was Jim Chee.  And as soon as I saw him I recognized him.  Of Course.  That’s how Chee would have looked."
