What if monkeys were astronauts, pirates, cowboys, and queens? Matthew Porter's images of monkeys are painted on pine boards, sanded for texture to show the wood's grain, and then finished with a veneer. Edgy yet lovable, Porter's monkey paintings are already best-selling images, but this is the first time they've all come together in a calendar. This calendar, which includes a small coloring book, features the monkey characters from Porter's newest book of poetry, "Monkey World: An A-Z of Occupations," who spend their time fighting octopuses, slaying dragons, and landing on the moon!
