Oh boy let me think how to explain this. It's basically an intern joke for my family.
Coatis are cute animals that are pretty common around here.
When I was a child, I was kinda lazy. I never liked to play sports, slept most of the morning and stuff like that. For reasons that I never knew, my father used to say that I was born with a coati in my back. So being a "coati" means that I was a lazy potato couch my entire life.
Then when I graduate in High School, I decided to take a major in Animation. And for my father, going to art school was just me being lazy and afraid to take a "real major" (I always had good grades).
After starting working with art I had to take an artistic name and decided to be a Coati. If I'm supposed to be a lazy Coati, then I'll be the pretty damn good Coati, because artist are a bunch of lazy people :v
