Duck! It's a monkey!

Plush green monkey.

Passing by the pet shop I saw that they changed their "display," and added a plush green monkey. It's apparently climbing over the fish tank to get away from the killer green duck right behind it.

Kuddly Kong

2 Varieties of krappy Kongs made of plush.

These plush Kong dolls were being sold for $4 each at a bargain store near me in Brooklyn. They were so cheaply made I thought it was worth it only to take a couple of pictures.

Angry T-shirt

Saw this poorly drawn version of the Family Guy monkey on a T-shirt at the Union Square Market in NYC this summer.

Chimpanzee T-shirt

Chimp silkscreen T-shirt.

I saw this guy on the subway more than a year ago, and asked to take a picture of his shirt. All I had was my phone camera, and I had no clue how to get the picture. My wife rescued me with instructions. I feel like a dork, it was so simple.

CG portraits

Jacques Defontaine's CG portrait.

This is a CG portrait done by Belgian artist Jacques Defontaine that I found in an artical on Noupe.com showing realistic computer generated portraits.

Below is another CG image by Olivier Ponsonnet from the same article…

Gorilla Goes Ape for Christmas

Here's King Kong and the Rockettes celebrating the opening of the Radio City Christmas Spectacular atop the Empire State Building on Tuesday (11.17.09). I hope he's been practicing his high kicks!

Soapy Monkey

My sister gave me this soap because it has a monkey on it. It came out of the dispenser as suds. We used it in the studio bathroom, and it was almost gone before I remembered to take a picture.

Chimpanzee funeral

Rest in peace Dorothy the chimp.

This image is from The Inquisitr. A chimp named Dorothy at a chimpanzee rescue center died, and all her friends and family watched in silence as she was buried :(

Flying Monkey Costume

Is this what the Flying Monkeys looked like in The Wizard of Oz?

Found this bizarre image of a flying monkey costume from Germany. It comes from a list on the always unusual Cracked.com of The 30 Most Unsettling German Halloween Costumes.

NASA to start irradiating monkeys

All in the name of science, I suppose. Get your monkey-ass to Mars.

MSNBC article on why NASA will test to see how the radioactive environment of space impacts humans… or more accurately: how the radioactive environment of space impacts monkeys.

Or you could design a ship made of the stuff they put on your genital area when taking x-rays. That works, right?

Think Geek Monkey

Just placed an order at one of my favorite online stores ThinkGeek.com.

I forgot they have a monkey/brain theme.

Here's the monkey on my order confirmation:

:P

Just got this in an email:


I don't care if you lick windows,
take the special bus or occasionally pee on yourself.
You hang in there, sunshine-you're friggin' special.
Every sixty seconds you spend angry, upset or mad,
is a full minute of happiness you'll never get back.
Today's Message of the Day is:
Life is short, Break the rules, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love truly,
Laugh uncontrollably, And never regret anything that made you smile.
Life may not be the party we hoped for,
but while we're here, we should dance.


Cute. A bit rough around the edges, but the sentiment is nice.

Absinthe maketh the hearth gwow fonder

My cousin sent me this monkey he found on an absinthe bottle.

Monkey driver

Tired of photo-enforcement speed traps? Just do what Dave Vontesmar does as inferred by me or implied by THIS ARTICLE.

Monkey artist

It's been a while since I've updated here. A fun project like this should not go neglected for so long.
Thanks go to Rik for finding this image in his Facebook friend's photo album

Cabo San Monkey

We spent a week in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. We stopped in this hole in the wall for tequila shots. Monkey Business is an appropriate name considering the Cabo Wabo tequila we ordered tasted more like something slightly less expensive.

Blue Kong

A friend from college recently updated his Facebook with this picture. It’s a painting he did of a giant balloon gorilla that makes his home at a business not far from where I live in Brooklyn.

Here’s another painting he did of the same image.

Pink monkey baby

While visiting friends in Princeton we found a store with lots of fun imported toys. This baby pink monkey thingy was one that caught my eye.
