I'm pleased and proud to say that Torquay Museum have launched their Mammoth Appeal and it's my 'hippy mammoth' that they have chosen as a mascot. I believe they are even setting up a name the mammoth competition on their facebook page very soon. I'll be interested to find out what name he / she is. Very nice to see the hirsute old fella / fellaess out and about (although he / she still looks a bit bemused by all the attention he / she is getting!)...

chimp think doodle...
Just a sketch that passed some time today... and I know chimps aren't monkeys, but I saw the quote and it seemed apt to scrawl it in there...

an orangutan on a penny farthing...
Well then, what better way to break a prolonged dry spell on the old blog but an orangutan on a penny farthing... (incidentally I don't think there is an answer to that...). I recall many conversations with friends about the ergonomic considerations for vehicles, furniture and the like, should apes have culturally and technologically evolved a pace like we hairless chimps did. Just think of it... Certainly there would be buttons and switches on car floors. Chair seats would be lower down while arm rests would be longer (the budget 'cattle class' airlines wouldn't be economically viable in an ape world), and the handle bars of bicycles would be higher up!
As usual with my illustrations for a little bit bunny blog I'll post sketches plus a sneak peek of the final pic here, pop on over to A.L.B.B blog for the full thing. TTFN.
