Happiness Island

I’m in the band.

As I mentioned in my “About” section, I sing in a band called Macaque. The following drawings are some that have been inspired by and in service to Macaque. Enjoy!

Text and cloud by Chris Hart:

For the record, the story for the above poster is this: A young girl has just seen her little sister get killed by the household monster-in-the-basement. As she’s running away frantically, she remembers the ring she always wears that her aunt gave her after a return from travels to far away lands. The ring is rumored to have a magic genie inside of it. When the monster looks like it’s going to catch up, the young girl wishes the genie out of the ring. Just in time, the genie appears in a puff of smoke and hypnotizes the monster into submission.

I love working with lettering. This collage is all about the way Macaque can behave.
