W (upside down) is for Monkey.

This afternoon, I was sitting on the couch in our studio and I was rambling through some old boxes of pictures I’ve drawn both past and present day. I drew the monkey below in 1987 and I drew the W-astronaut-scattered-madness-thing about two months ago in 2008. I set these two drawings aside and decided to post them together today because I thought it was a pretty wild concept how much someone’s personal style/thoughts can change in 21 years…almost as if two entirely different people drew these images. I wonder what I will be drawing about in 2029 if in fact my mind is still communicating with my hands.

Source of picture: unknown… I think I copied this monkey from some kids book or something?

Doodled this one at a coffee shop in NW Portland; on the night before a big day next.
