Those were posted years ago on shutterfly... they use to be bigger but I guess their site compressed them.. sorry. this was a revival of an old thread.

Thank you for all the nifty comments friends.... I started the staining and he is really starting to pop.

Dig the monkey .Cheers Watango

Hi Palmcity Tiki,

Your really excellent and one of a kind style blows a fresh wind of motivation all over T.C.
The pix you post are always very interesting because of all the shown sides.
I can't wait to see 1000 more.

Outstanding Monkey. I really like that guy. Great proportions and flow. Please post when he is all stained so I can just gawk.

Thank you all for the comments...

I wasn't sure how the monkey would be received... my wife loves it so I figure the rest of the world would think it was just strange... I am searching for the tassle and I plan on hand painting some tattoos on his arm and maybe a logo on his fez.

Here is the almost finished piece...

and some detail shots



Latest shots of the monkey are awesome,LUV IT!!
Cheers Watango.
