Pockets Warhol, the artist in question
Pockets Warhol is white-capped capuchin monkey. He has been given that name because he uses his tail, hands, feet, and of course, a brush, to daub canvases with his own unique artistic paintings. Pockets has become a money-spinning machine for bosses at at Story Book Farm, a primate sanctuary in Canada, with his paintings selling for as much as R3 500 each.
The teenage monkey was introduced to painting a year ago when one of Story Book’s volunteers, Charmaine Quinn gave him non-toxic children’s paint to experiment with in order to keep him occupied. Bosses at the zoo claim Pockets Warhol’s work has been sold to buyers in Europe and Israel for “hundreds of dollars”. All the money Pockets earns from the sales of his paintings will help fund a new barn for the sanctuary.
