Save the 100 Monkey, Eat the 100 Monkey

YOU have a modest chance to own one of these simple doodles FOR ONLY $4 DOLLARS; thanks in part to the generous altruistic nature of once City Council Appointee Applicant, Political Cartoonist and Professional Male Model RR ANDERSON, in glorious MONOCHROME!  Drawn, as it would appear, with his feet using a prismacolor marker. You cannot possibly criticize his whimsical (read: naive) drawing style because it’s HIS street-cred style.  RR Anderson is a celebrity, so what you’re really buying here with your $4 dollars is buying-into the brand or life-style-choice philosophy of this gritty-Tacoma artist… not necessarily a “quality” art piece because “quality” is relative and all part of your perspective and so what i’m really saying is you are an asshole if you compare these drawing to the other CLAW cartoonists who have trained for years with pen and ink renderings. That’s just not what the idea of RR Anderson  is about man.

Eleven of the one hundred monkeys were drawn by Mark Monlux, one of the four founders of CLAW, freelance illustrator extraordinairé, and the 2009 winner of The Golden Toonie. Will you be one of the lucky few who walks way with one of the monkeys?

Sneak Peek at Monkey Tiles

Here is a glimpse of just a few more tiles available for a puny $4.00 at the 100th Monkey event.

It’s FREE to attend. Free to mingle. $4.00 for an elusive tile. And well meeting the C.L.A.W….priceless.

(Disclaimer: For legal reasons, value may not be assigned to meeting any member of The C.L.A.W as most victims are haunted by the experience well into their senior years.)

A special note from the artist:




Dear reader,

Please join us in an effort to lessen our shame as fez wearing artists. We hope that through community awareness, other artists will take us more seriously. Only with the help of viewers like you can we overcome the life of oppression that awaits us. Shed some light on the plight of the artist.

And while you’re at it take home one of these cute monkey. They need loving homes where they can be admired and doted over.

Humbly yours,

-Adam M Botsford

ps: If you’re making baked good to “share”…The C.L.A.W. really likes cookies. Big ones! Much thanks.
