Photo Description: Darwin, famously known as the Ikea monkey, sits in a shearling coat. The painting was made out of old and unusable makeup.
In Honor of Darwin
This piece was “painted” with makeup that was no longer usable. Inspired by the “Ikea Monkey,” Darwin, and his story, I used the tools that made me feel “fabulous” to make him look his very best too. His head was painted with lipstick, his coat lapels and cuffs were made with highlighter, and his jacket was painted with bronzer.
