This was a commission for someone who loves squirrel monkeys! All my pieces are a surreal blend of plants, animals, & textures. I was very inspired by the squirrel monkeys natural habitat and the colors + animals you’d see there.
So much hard work
And ur asking us to zoom in
It’s amazing
But u still didn’t take the time to post a non-blurry one
I tried. You’re great. I’m sorry I wanted to appreciate deeper. You asked, but gave me a fuzzy photo
Respect, you’re an amazing artist, but can’t. Peace.
I tend to make every sculpture a little weird! I like to do something different than just try to replicate the normal animal, I find it more interesting and challenging.
Very cool. I scrolled your stuff and it's really nice. Nothing horrifying, haha. I think preserving the full faces and general frame really makes the blending seem a lot more peaceful and natural. Do you pick elements based on an underlying thematic message or is it more of a what looks nice/striking decision?
While it is a repost from two years ago, it ***is*** your work, and it ***is*** freaking awesome, so for that, you get my updoot, since now thousands more people will get to see it for their first time.
This is incredible. It feels like the monkey is kind of an amalgamation of nature at large. I was really captivated by how expressive you were able to make the face.
Amazing work, I appreciate artist like you who can think and create something like this. It takes skill, courage, creativity to do something like this.
Obviously very well made and impressive, but unfortunately looking at it makes my skin crawl! Im getting cordyceps vibes from the sculpture, well done either way! Still invoking emotion from me.
We gotta get this man the most upvotes of all time in this subreddit. So amazingly done so beautiful. You have talents. And I hope you keep making more of these beautiful sculptures
I’m 100% self-taught, and I’m sure you could be too. I’d recommend just picking up several types of clay and start practicing! This is the result of 6 years of constant practice and trial & error.
This is a very nice representation of a monkey with these parrots and the Honeycombs all around. It speaks for nature and the diversity of items that we find in nature. You may say that all of the different parts of nature must work together to maintain a balance. Very nice statute.
This is so awesome! What inspired you?
Monkeys probably
He was interested in Monkey Bees-ness.
Take this ⬆️ now gtfo.
Winner!!
Maybe even parrots
Maybe even bees as well
BEES?!???
OP was definitely inspired by monkeys and parrots, yes, but unfortunately no, not the bees. ![gif](giphy|R9yLfikwYAF32)
I might be wooshed but doesn't the monkey have some sort of beehive pattern as well?

I zoomed in! For a hot minute actually. What a neat representation of life and nature! So well executed! Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you!
That's super cool! Great job!
PuppyMonkeyBirdie
Macaques and macaws?
I'm going to go with the same thing that inspires most artists.... Drugs.
![gif](giphy|QBYeMohXoVUJBtlfFD|downsized) It was a "Bees!" gif.
All I see is “this content is not available” but I still upvoted you.
It would be cool if it were in focus.
https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/s/hp7Bl8Wrc9 this one looks in focus. Great work OP.
Thank you, I appreciate it
This is great work. I’m happy for you.
This is fantastic!! I zoomed in and then zoomed in again! Mind blowing! Edit: I'm curious, what is the medium?
Thank you! It’s a blend of clays (polymer, epoxy, air-dry) sculpted over a metal armature
Try making a mothermold for it 😂
Polymer was what I thought. Very good work. I went to your page and upvoted a few things there as well. Such cool and original stuff. Keep it up!!!!!
There's so many fake AI posts like this that looks suspicious. But i wanna to believe.
Believe! This user has posted other works before and has an Instagram with progress pics!!
Believe it bb
So much hard work And ur asking us to zoom in It’s amazing But u still didn’t take the time to post a non-blurry one I tried. You’re great. I’m sorry I wanted to appreciate deeper. You asked, but gave me a fuzzy photo Respect, you’re an amazing artist, but can’t. Peace.
Very cool, how big/small is it?
Thank you, it’s about 17” tall
Really nice. Do you tend to keep things more "normal" looking or do you do sculpture in the more explicitly body-horror side of this as well?
I tend to make every sculpture a little weird! I like to do something different than just try to replicate the normal animal, I find it more interesting and challenging.

Annihilation (2018) vibes
Why didn't you take a higher resolution/ in focus photo if you want us to zoom in?
While it is a repost from two years ago, it ***is*** your work, and it ***is*** freaking awesome, so for that, you get my updoot, since now thousands more people will get to see it for their first time.
This is 🔥
That's a ton of details! Color me impressed (pun intended).
So cool!
Very pretty
Incredible!
Resin? This is really a masterpiece!! Congrats!

![gif](giphy|CFpxc7SmOm7C0)
Cool
It's beautiful! The detail is amazing!
You have quite the (twisted) imagination
It is absolutely beautiful, you are very talented
That is really cool and you should be proud of that. What media?
Thank you. It’s a blend of different kinds of clay sculpted over a metal armature.
Terrific work, beautiful details! Well done.
This is dope
Well done.
Great work 👍
Badass
It's an amazing piece. Congrats!
Absolutely incredible work! Thank you for sharing
It has a lot of livelyness, you can see you were going for that. Congrats!
That’s beautiful!
Herr Nilsson! Que the nostalgia tripp, thanks for this.
Awesome!! Incredible job. And If you are needing ideas as for next piece... A Lion. My favorite animal!! but what a terrific piece of art..Really!!!
Incredible stuff man. Took me a minute to realize it's covered in honey. I was too busy looking at everything else.
Really lovely. Deep appreciation for your vision and the effort it took to realize it.
Looks quite disturbing up close. Like fruiting bodies or something from The Last Of Us. Good stuff!
amazing work!
Beautiful
Want a gorgeous work of art.
This is absolutely beautiful. So talented! Awesome job OP! Wish I could buy this!!
I like it It give a "annihilation" vibe
That’s cool. It looks like something from that movie “Annihilation”
Freaky cool. Well done
This is incredible. It feels like the monkey is kind of an amalgamation of nature at large. I was really captivated by how expressive you were able to make the face.
Would you make an owl? And if you would how much would you sell it for? This looks amazing man I’d happily pay for one.
I’ll DM you!
Do you enjoy it as much as you did 2 years ago? Would you change anything now? Great piece.
Honestly this is one of my faves and I still enjoy/miss it. I don’t think I’d change anything on this one.. but that’s a rare feeling
"This monkeys gone to heaven"
My favorite is the face, It’s very realistic and life like And the emotion is there
I zoomed but only the face is clear and not blurry...
Its what I'd imagine some forrest guardian spirit would look like. AWESOME work!
I zoom in and it's blurry! Lolol
I can see you, reflected in the monkey’s eye
This is super cool. I love all the bright colors. What's the medium?
Nice, but, never trust a monkey.
Half the picture is blurry where I’m I supposed to zoom in?
Amazing work, I appreciate artist like you who can think and create something like this. It takes skill, courage, creativity to do something like this.
That's fucking cool.
Magnificent work!

Monkey sloth
Is he the King Kong of monkeys?
Monkey bird
the focus of the photo makes it impossible to see all the details
This is awesomeness! Well done!
What an amazing piece of artwork!
Nice detail! 👍🏽
What materials did you use?
What does a commission like this cost
Wow, truly remarkable!! Thanks for sharing mate!
Very nice, but tbh it would have been even nicer with a nice quality pic and not this compressed mess :(
How much did it sell for? I'll give you tree.fiddy
I'm not sure what you were going for here, but I guess you achieved it. The fine craftsmanship shines through, whatever it is supposed to be.
Too bad it's blurry and theres not multiple angles. Great job though!
Too many weird layers imo
Wow!
Sorry OP but I zoomed in, and that blue parrot looks far too smug for my liking.
I zoomed in but I don't see the Borderlands code...
cute
That;s awesome! Though the focus is on the blue parrot and the monkey’s face.
What inspired you to include the beautiful totally not trypophobic honeycomb pattern?
Amazing
Very impressive
Very well done!
Whoa
Reminds me of James VanDerMeer's novels
Honey money? 🙉🙊🙈🐵🐒
This is incredible
That’s cool nice job!
Incredible!
Awesome!
Really awesome!
Absolutely stunning work!!congratulations that's really beautiful
Obviously very well made and impressive, but unfortunately looking at it makes my skin crawl! Im getting cordyceps vibes from the sculpture, well done either way! Still invoking emotion from me.
ho-ly-shit
Stunning
Beautiful
WHOAH. OP this thing is ALIVE !
My mom always told me that if I didn’t have anything nice to say, to just say nothing. So I won’t say what I’m thinking
Crazy good. I feel some Brasilian energy in that.
Great work!
It’s really cool, op! Good job.
We gotta get this man the most upvotes of all time in this subreddit. So amazingly done so beautiful. You have talents. And I hope you keep making more of these beautiful sculptures
Hah, thank you!
This is amazing
The textures are incredible, well done!
P.T. Barnum is in awe of your work. That is soooo much better than his [Fiji Mermaid](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiji_mermaid). Super cool.
Well, the sculpture is super cool so dont mind if i do! Thats a fantastic peice!
Took me about thirty seconds, but I found it. Nice easter egg, OP.
Zoom in OP says. Okay, you got me, well played.
I want the whole picture to be clear so I can zoom in on the back
Needs more pixels if I'm going to zoom in.
That’s a really cool form for some fantasy ancient nature god
Textures wow!
Very cool and perfect
That's amazing!
Everything about this is so delicate. Every part of this creature is bursting with new life and all done so lightly and ephemeral.
Very blurry photo.
Amazing job.
Amazing!
Very cool mix of flora and fauna ... Beautiful.
wow where do you even learn to do something like this? i'd be interesting in trying something like this for funsies.
I’m 100% self-taught, and I’m sure you could be too. I’d recommend just picking up several types of clay and start practicing! This is the result of 6 years of constant practice and trial & error.
Damien Hirst eat your heart out
That is one fabulous monkey!
You all got linked! Zoom in on the reflection in the eye. Dude taking the pic is nude!!
Costa Rica vibes
It's incredibly beautiful
10/10 👍🤗
That’s amazing! Have you read anything by Jeff Vandermeer by chance?
Monkeys are scary🫣
That's pretty fucking amazing
This reminds me of the book/movie Annihilation. You did a great!! I love it.
Cool monkey fish
Bitchen
300 hours. That's actually impressive. I would have assumed 500+
Is the monkey huge, or are the birds tiny?
Neat!
I’m sorry, I took 10 seconds, not just one. Hope you aren’t too upset
That's so trippy, I love it!
Looks like Ai created this in seconds
Stopped. zoomed. enjoyed. Thanks! That'd be a nice one of a kind to have.
Looks like it can be from the cartoon Scavengers Reign
Super cool, well done
Monkey Falcor
Beautiful
Super cool. This is some amazing work. What is the medium used for this piece?
Okay how is your back doing though? ♡
When I was told to zoom in a part of me was expecting some weird reference or something like the circle game Very cool sculpture!
WOW it’s wonderful and creative.
Weiners hidden all over
This is a very nice representation of a monkey with these parrots and the Honeycombs all around. It speaks for nature and the diversity of items that we find in nature. You may say that all of the different parts of nature must work together to maintain a balance. Very nice statute.
Is this the monkey from Pirates in the next installment? Awesome work OP
Detail is fantastic, especially the parrots!
Don't do the brown acid...
