The unpainted canvas just leaning against my studio wall has been bothering me for a while. I bought five 36″x36″ canvases for the Monkey Modern show, but only used four. Flipping through a sketchbook this week, I found this cluster of Proboscis Monkey drawings.
I’ve done a 6″x6″ study to figure out the colour scheme, and later this month, I’ll paint the ornery primate big.

One of the annual features of my e-mail art project Monkey Mondays was a simian-themed Valentines cards. I found these in my archives, and thought I’d share them with you, dear.

For those who missed it at the Nook Holiday Sale, my painting Spacemonkey will be exhibited at The Amazing Sci-Fi Show this weekend. Over two dozen artists will be exhibited art from outer space and worlds beyond. As is always the case with Super Wonder Gallery productions, the opening party promises to be a spaced-out blast.
