Gallery of the Absurd's New Line of T-Shirts

Many of you asked what would happen to Bunky the Drunken Monkey after the demise of my failed blog Circus Hour. Now I have an answer for you.  Bunky has been an evolving character of mine for over 5 years and has refined his appearance since his first incarnation as a womanizing personal injury attorney with a drinking & gambling problem.  One of my side projects in addition to creating work for Gallery of the Absurd has been creating original characters and placing them in the context of Japanese-inspired Engrish and Kawaii pop culture.

Bunky kicks off the first of my designs and many more are coming soon.  Because of legal concerns, I can't sell my celebrity illustrations as t-shirt designs, but I can sell images that may or may not be based on some of the celebrities I've featured on my blog.  In addition to several upcoming characters, look for the familiar Perky Demented Food Chipmunk and Crabby coming up next.  My Zazzle t-shirt store is rather barren at the moment, but soon it'll be stuffed to the gills.

This is how Bunky looked back in 2003. I didn't pay much attention to composition and color in those days.
