APE CON OCT 13th and 14th! BOOTH 642

Just lettin ya all know. Come on over if you're in the area.

Think Tank Anthropomorphic Pirate

The English language has some wonderfully anthropomorphic collective nouns for the various groups of animals. We are all familiar with a "Herd of cows", a "Flock of chickens, a "School of fish" and a "Gaggle of geese". However, less widely known is: a "Pride of lions, a "Murder of crows" (as well as their cousins the rooks and ravens), an "Exaltation of doves" and, presumably because they look so wise, and a "Congress of owls". Now consider a group of Baboons. They are the loudest, most dangerous, most obnoxious, most viciously aggressive and least intelligent of all primates. And what is the proper collective noun for a group of baboons? Believe it or not ... a "Parliament". A PARLIAMENT OF BABOONS!

-Auther Unknown but originated from Africa

With open arms

Just a lil something. I am making a series of images and selling the originals and a 1 of a kind print at the cons. Hopefully so the collector gets the best of both worlds, and can see what changes I made or what I did differently. Here's one of them. More to come.

commissions

Seth Green came by, bought Julie's fine art and a piece of mine.

Face off was filming a challenge and I thought the artist who did this was awesome. good luck to you! I don't have cable so I have no idea what the show is really about or who's in it.

People watching

All in all, it was a good show for us. It was fun seeing some good friends like Victoria Ying, Mike Yamada, Laurie B, Jason Pruett, Camille d'Ennrico, Mike McKone, and DavidColman. (If you haven't heard of these great artists, do yourself the favor and check em out) Made some new friends, got some good feedback on the books and future projects, so a success all in all. Thanks everyone for the continued support over the years letting us two artists keep creating and making. We really appreciate it, truly. I have a store at http://beaned.storenvy.com/ and we will be sending out a link to both our etsy stores when we are up and running in case you missed the show. We will be at Ape Con in a short few weeks....time to get crackin'.

Cheers,
Bean
