When you go to the zoo, do you feel sorry for the monkeys? Me neither. Why should I? Is their situation much different than most graphic designers? We are caged up in an art department all day. People look through the bars and point at this weird breed of humans classified as “creatives.” Every once in a while the zookeeper will come along and throw us a banana or two of kind words. Before I wear out this analogy, let me make my point. One of our fellow monkeys is getting some recognition 40 years after he died of tuberculosis. Three paintings by Congo the chimpanzee sold for $25,000 at auction in London on Monday according to NPR. Hopefully this news brings hope to all the monkey artists out there struggling to get by.
