    Yeah, I've been thinking about the old Jethro Tull song a lot since the topic was revealed. Great colors... and a wonderful li'l orangutan! Way cool.

    Love the striking images - the colours are excellent jungle colours! And the movement on the right contrasting with the stillness on the left is wonderful.

    Ha! Excellent! Wonderful play with the theme.

    I'm struck by the style contrast between these posterized images and the more straightforward pencil work. The line work is completely different. The posters make use of photos and perhaps other outside images that you re-color and recontextualize, right?

    Maybe this Friday I'll jump in and join the weekly challenge, though I've not drawn a thing in... oh so very long.

    Great song references! Don't forget CCR's "Run Through the Jungle":-) Love the monkey with glasses and the little critter at the bottom. Such vibrant colors!

    monkies are cool… and so is your work… brings back lots of memories… kind of wonderin if those monkeys would bang out on a computer if they were left alone for a hundred years WHILE listenin to your selection of songs… i'd bet it wouldn't be shakespeare…

    thanks for visitin my site…
