August - Myths&Legends - Phoebe Adams


"Born From An Egg" is a tribute to King Monkey the monkey god who proclaimed himself "Great Sage, Equal of Heaven". As a kid I used to watch "Monkey Magic" on the ABC every day after school. If you have never seen the series then do yourself a favor and watch it. The entire series can be found at Blockbuster Warrnambool (I haven't seen em anywhere else). The show is based on a Chinese myth, acted by Japanese actors, filmed in China and dubbed over in English. If you like an epic adventure, martial arts, shabby special effects, humor, awesome phrases like "Life is the meaning the universe sends to itself." Then Monkey is for you.

"The nature of Monkey was irrepressible!"

Thanks Nathan. Yep I stumbled upon it when I was researching Monkey. It's fantastic. Didn't know it was the same guy that drew my old favorite Tank Girl.
