ArtistHybrid 50% animal 50%: bearded capuchin (Sapajus libidinosus) x palm tree (Cocos nucifera) Full width 16:9 illustration filling the entire image width of fully fused bearded capuchin (Sapajus libidinosus) x palm tree (Cocos nucifera) hybrids. The stand of several palm tree hybrids is viewed from a worm’s eye perspective, so that the image shows the inside of the crown of the palm hybrid close up. The crown of the palm tree hybrid bears abundant fruit made of bearded capuchin monkeys. Only close up does the fruit reveal itself as capuchin monkeys with brown fur and expressive faces. The monkeys are hunched together in round, coconut-sized shapes, so that they look like ripe, brown, furry coconuts from a distance. The monkey fruit is surrounded by healthy, ornate, large green pinnately compound palm fronds fanning out from the center of the palm hybrid’s crown out beyond the edges of the image. The palm fronds decoratively frame the monkey fruit. Behind the palm fronds, the sky is azure blue with delicate, puffy, wispy white clouds peeking through the palm fronds. The entire image is very decorative. The focus is fully on the monkey-coconut fruit. The image is rendered in an appealing array of rich, elegant, repetitive patterns in shades of green, tan, brown, indigo blue and white. The pen-and-colored-ink technique allows for exquisite detail, tiny patterns, and lively colors with high color contrast. The unusual hybrid is illustrated with painstaking precision and attention to detail.
Don't stand under the palm tree if you don't care for monkeys falling on your head!
