Fire Monkey Collection 2016
(44 images on 2 pages)


   Wishing all my fellow artistic revolutionaries joyous prosperity in 2016, yang fire monkey year with more monkey art than you can shake a banana at. I tried to compile an eclectic assortment of monkeys, apes, macaques, baboons, etc in a variety of styles & techniques. Sun Wukong & Hanuman are, of course associated with monkey years & feature prominently here. I've also included excerpts of general predictions for the year from Happy Wishing Well & Suzanne White.

   The lunar Year of the Yang Red Fire Monkey runs from Monday Feb 08 2016 to Friday Jan 27 2017. This is a year of adventure, discovery, questions & answers, when luck can strike at bizarre times & fortunes can turn in the blink of an eye. Risk, strategy, learning, change & progress feature prominently in a Monkey Year.

   It's a year of blazing opportunity & wild passions, a roller-coaster ride of the senses, and sometimes all you can do is hang on & surrender to the journey! It's best to take nothing for granted. The Monkey is wise but also unpredictable & given to bouts of jealousy, suspicion or temper tantrums. Nonetheless, you may recall that the Space Age officially began in 1956, a Fire Monkey year. Expect to see innovative developments in the sciences, technology, education, commerce & the performance arts.

   The influence of the Fire Monkey in 2016 will cause many of our preconceived notions to hit the fan. It’s going to be a scurrying kind of year. Sweeping global shifts are afoot, whether it’s climate change or the prevalence of religious wars these will persist & even worsen in the Fire Monkey Year. But the Monkey is the problem solver. The arrival of a Monkey year, just at this juncture, is like a sunrise full of hope. Monkeys find solutions to even the most labyrinthine of issues. And they do it in subtle ways that other less wily & crafty signs would find impossible.
