Monkey Madness

Last night I had a dream that I was Curious George! It was all from the first person point of view, so I was literally seeing the world through monkey eyes. (It was about the same as a human sees the world, since my brain has no concept of how a monkey really sees the world.)

In the dream I was sitting among a pile of stuffed animals, gazing out a picture window, waiting for the man in the yellow hat to come back.

This is not Curious George. This is a very big Silverback Gorilla. I would not recommend hugging or squeezing him. 

This watercolor study was done from one of the dioramas at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History.
