The Monkey King

The Monkey KingNot all phobias are personal. Fear can be social; a contagion passed down and around. “The Monkey King” was designed as a kind of visual fable. I’ve had Aesop on my mind lately. Fortunately, the concept also fits this weeks Illustration Friday.

For the first time, I was able to document the step-by-step process in making this piece, from first scribble to finish. I’m hoping to post the pics up soon. Everyone should know how to build a monkey.

    A very interesting concept… The technique, I believe is well executed, and your choice of colors is top notch. I got a tad confused around the Monkey King’s face but not enough to really mind… Good.
