Greetings Ohana, and welcome!

If this is the first you have heard about The Coconut Monkey Project, I invite you to check out my blog:
http://coconutmonkeyproject.blogspot.com/

I am an artist, tiki bartender, and coconut monkey collector. I have been collecting coconut monkeys, and singing their praises to whoever will listen, for the past ten years.
This year, I embarked on the creative journey to document my treasured collection in a series of portrait paintings. I hope through these paintings to express the unique qualities of these characters, and to celebrate the history and variety of a true tiki artifact. They are tiki, they are tacky, they are kitch, they are junk, they are treasures, they are primitive, they are works of art.
Most of all, they are coconut monkeys, and they make me happy.
I hope they will make you happy too.

-Mahalo!
