'Monkey' sketch



Inspired by the folk story Monkey (also known as A Journey to the West), which I've been reading recently, last night I decided to take a stab at drawing my version of the titular character. In the end, I probably took some artistic liberties with the character's appearance, but I was still pleased with the results.

Monkey!

That looks like it belongs on a gorrilaz album cover :-)

Jamie Hewlett and Damon Albarn, who created the Gorillaz, actually did a stage production of "Monkey: Journey to the West." Hewlett's character designs for it are pretty amazing. You can see them here:
