Travis Louie, Miss Lucy & Her "Hat Monkey", 2012, acrylic on board, 14 x 11" • Sold
|
Lucy lived in a strange town where it was common
for people to have taxidermy on their fancy hats. She didn't like the
idea of wearing a dead stuffed animal on her head so she wore a hat with
a live monkey. Her monkey's name was Percy and he used to work for an
organ grinder who was run over by a horse. Percy kept his tin cup from
his previous occupation and often collected change. Lucy often got
migraine headaches from the extra weight of coin. |
