Artist's Comments

Comission undertaken for Angry Monkey Inc [link] a comic mailorder website based in Derby.

The brief was to produce 4 pieces of art based around a Chimp mascot described as a "Monkey Butler" at the pitch. (Strictly speaking Chimps are Apes and not Monkeys but that's neither here nor there).

This ape/monkey isn't particulary Angry but it was agreed upon with the site owners Dan and Niall that a variety of Chimps expressions was the way to go (there's another piece that needs going up here with 3 far more exaggerated expressions for instance).

Anyway, this ape took far too long to crack out and some of the dark tones are in the wrong place as I did'nt think it through enough to remember a fixed light source.

Joy joy happy joy!

Everyone likes monkey butlers. I wouldn't worry too much about having overlooked a fixed light source, it's not something that I ever remember to do in my comics. (Not that that's a good thing...)

Heh, it glad to see that Monkey Butlers have brought out the joy in my fellow man. I suppose you have a point about the fixed light thing but it still niggles with me.

I quite like the humanity in this one. The monkey has that look in his face that says both friendly obedience and "i'm gonna shove this steel tray up your Harris if you mess with me." :)

Nice one.

Ah, cheers and lovely man. I became really obsessed with drawing Mike McMahon style apes when I did this. They always have these great expressions that I wanted to have a try at.
