THE PUNKIEST MONKEY THAT EVER POPPED

20 January 2012

- MONKEY HAD TO DITCH HIS TENTACLE CLOUD AFTER HE FOUND IT IN BED WITH SANDY -

This week marked the 117th birthday of the Wan Brothers' who created the Monkey King (AKA Monkey Magic). Google featured a pretty awesome homepage graphic which can now be seen here.

“In the worlds before Monkey, primal chaos reigned. Heaven sought order, but the phoenix can fly only when it's feathers are grown. The four worlds formed again and yet again, As endless aeons wheeled and passed. Time and the pure essences of Heaven, the moistures of the Earth,and the powers of the Sun and the Moon all worked upon a certain rock - old as creation, and it magically became fertile... Elemental forces caused the egg to hatch. From it then came a stone monkey... The nature of Monkey was irrepressible!


Method: The Monkey 'dunny' I painted with watercolour pencils laying down against the photo of a Hawaiian sunset from my lounge room wall
