TMR - Thankful Monkey Raptor

Year of the horse is just started but my hides for the horse are almost done, six left. Thanks for the memories and stories. From Cisero, Doc, Texas Babe, and me. #monkeyshines2026

My supervisor found a port orb last week near our work and today she surprised me with it because she is generous and knew how much I would love it. I have not hugged someone so hard in quite some time. I am blessed to work with amazing people and am truly humbled.

Today's rogues. @laserxmonkey good to see your back this year. #monkeyshines2026

Second print of the #monkeyshine2026 season. Things are slowly going out now.

Not using x much but the fundraiser is done and donations have been made for year of the horse.

Spreadsheet formulas are a go for the fundraiser print and while the numbers are not all in, honestly we will be raising more then I thought. Can't wait to share the end results for the Monkeyshine go fund me and SAFE horse rescue next month.

Doing Monkeyshine lino prints different this year. Year of the Horse will come in two different colorways. One will be a serendipitous hide. The other color will be an edition variation for a limited fundraiser print, more details to come later. 🐎🐒

Four fall prints. Three major hides. One mostly for fundraising.

Preparing for later.

Things for late summer and early fall.

One goofy Lafufu on a bumpy ass rock in progress.

Hidey-ho! He's a bit angry probably because I gave him hillbilly teeth and a pig nose. 🤣

Taking a break from lino to work on other things. Painting isn't really my go to medium but sometimes it's fun. Working on a couple wish rocks.

Still they rise was follow-up by a mystery double tap print. Here is my reply. I can't. This one is so extremely goofy. 🤣😂🤣🧟‍♂️ Sorry you failed to use the buddy system.

I am not exactly sure how I salvaged this one but somehow I managed to make a derpy little Grogu.

There is a mystery printmaker out there that built off the kindness print. I might do a variation print in a different color for a few more serinditpy hides. The shovel was found on my birthday taped to utility box I sometimes put prints on, lol. Unexpected and weird for the win.

Surprise! Another fundraiser donation. 😭

Donation to Old Dog Haven and Motley Zoo Animal Rescue made this morning for the animals and in Memory of Mr B. Hard to believe it's been three years this month month.
