Space Monkey


space Monkey, Actually a juvenile Chimpanzee.

The first manned mission to Mars was a failure. The landing crew is feared dead or in need of a rescue.....

The second mission to Mars was by trained Chimpanzees....

It was discovered in the late 1940's that Chimpanzees can indure higher G's. Thus a 1 year trip to Mars could be done with simians at high G trust in half the time. Thus a crew of simians was sent.
These test where decerened from rocket sled experiements and high enertia blunt force test conducted by the U.S.A.F in the early 1950's. The USAF and NASA both launched Chimpanzee's into low earth orbit, including dogs and monkeys.

Closeup of actual larger ink with more going on.

Rising Sun Kamikaze Flying Eye



Flying eyes are only custom order and for HWAP. This one was for Dxtr. Silkscreened red sunburst, then masked out, airbrushed yellow and orange side rails. Airbrushed eye detail, then hand painted. SOF and HWAP always get the hook ups and always a pleasure to deal with CIGS. This was all done on a white full dip 30"x10.5" quality board and is a mixture of 3 disciplines in various amounts. Much akin to painting a custom car, then silkscreening it and then doing a brush painting.

Custom work takes time.

This is a baby flying eye on a 6.75"x27" board given to me by the good guys at Miramar Skateboards located in local Pomonastan. The board started off natural wood then was done in 3 coats medium course aluminum flake, 3 coats candy strawberry and cherry red then 9 color flying eye. Some airbrush some hand painted. They'll never be another one. It's not for sale and is in the private collection of my friend the composer Danny Elfman.
