MONKEY (THE HOWLER)



11 1/2" x 8 1/2" Pentel brush pen in Canson sketchbook. This is the ugliest and loudest. A cross between a monkey and werewolf. He tries to bring you down by getting you to compare yourself to others. He manifests just as you are doing your best work.

NEED SOME HELP, BROTHER?

11 1/2" x 8 1/2" Speedball super black India ink, Winsor Newton Series 7 #2 brush, Niji waterbrush and watercolor in Moleskine A4 sketchbook.  A few years ago actor Ian McKellen was taking a break from rehearsals for the play Waiting For Godot. He was dressed as his character, a tramp, sitting on a bench outside the theater when a passerby dropped a dollar into his hat saying :Need some help, brother?"  A great story that helps me to remember the less fortunate during this holiday season.
