Respect

"People despise those who treat them well and look up to those make no concessions." This statement is not always true, but is "generally true". It is sad especially when this statement is proven by the reality around you. As a result, we should not expect a "fair world". It is not violating the basic concept of Monskey - Equality of Mankind. That is what it should be and the reality could be different.

Attached is the artwork of "I Love Monskey"Sticker which could be found in Monskey's DIY version.

New Monskey.com is ready

The site is ready and please take a look on it!

The image left is a new Monskey Blind Box line which will be launched in the USA very soon.

First Sight

First impression is critical.

Look at the Monskey on the left. Is it scary?

Thanks to Frames. With his awesome design, Monskey can be as scary as the one shown.

This is one of the best masterpiece of Monskey done in the pass few years.

New Challenges

I totally agree with what Arthur Schopenhauer described life : we are swinging between pain and boredom.

Sometimes when you feel bored, things come and make you busy - because something has changed. In a positive view, it is called "challenge". Changes do not have a status as "good" or "bad". Changes are changes. You can see those changes will move you from one point to another between the two extremes - pain and boredom.

Let us try to state netural when changes come. Don't get excited, or fraustrated. State cool, state calm to challenges.

Two Monskeys in the photo: Black and white. The black one is a member of World Wide Monskey 3 (WMM3) which will be launched this August. The white one is a member of Monskey 1.

New Monskey.com is coming

Monskey.com will soon have a new look.

The new site will serve as an official plaftorm to show all information about Monskey.
Well, this blog will be a very on-off type of giving thinkings, new ideas of Monskey.
Sure, here will have some very limited, or Monskey never being made to the market...

Monskeys in the photo is one very old but nice Monskey designed by an Italian who cannot be contacted by Monskey in this moment. The Monskey beind is a primitive colored Monskey which has not yet been shown in any occasions.

Bigger Family

Monskey Project is happy to add some talented designers as family members in recent months. Those supercool designers are from Mexico, Holland, Spain and Taiwan.

We will have their work posted in this blog very soon.

Monskey Project cannot live by itself. It has to exist with the presence of many designers with passion. The interactions between the project and those designers are flames in the dark night which give warmness and energy.

Here is another cool work by Frames, UK.

It is a phenomenon that people tends to use extreme wordings in their expressions. Such as "the MOST beautiful", "the BEST chance" and so on. This kind of exaggerating tunes can be impressive. But when we hear and see more and more expressions like this, we will become indifferent to those expressions. As a result, the contents will be missed. So, next time when we are going to use such wordings, just think if we have a better way to express the real situations. Maybe our sayings can be more powerful then.

This beautiful piece was done by a Brazilian. It is simple but impressive.

Happy New Year 2009!

When most people sees the downside, we should look at the view further behind.

We are not saying to go against the master trend. But we do need to think differently.

When we see the big guys going down, we should also see the rooms for expansion.

Here is a Stary Stary Monskey - in Black and white.

Weaknesses

We like the Monskey Project. The best part is that we open the platform in the Internet to many different people to interact with Monskey. We are not so-called "Designers' toys". Of course, some Monskeys are desgined by famous and professional desginers. But most of them are come from just "one designer". And some are come from amateurs.

The key here is to share the joy of interacting with Monskey. We have got many hand-painted graphics from the Internet which are come from kids. We like them all. We are planning to do something on them in the near future. Joyfulness is not decided by professionals, it is inside ourselves.

Sometime threatening others will only show your weaknesses.

Here is a very nice design of Monskey come from an Australian designer.
