While at Fort Marion, Howling Wolf became a proficient artist in what came to be termed Ledger Art, so-called as the drawings were done on paper from accountants ledgers, the most readily available source of paper at the time.

The drawings were evocative of traditional Plains hide painting.
The artwork was sold to tourists in St. Augustine who visited the fort.
Howling Wolf's artwork along with the other ledger artists has risen in monetary value through the years and is valued as an expressive eyewitness account of the experiences of the artists and their tribes.
