Original artwork description:

Babu, the King of the baboons who has a very special black banana which when he eats can make him speak our language it’s a banana. He will only eat for extraordinary occasions such as the trial of who ate the bananas.

Christmas is coming, and this is an opportunity to own one of my characters from Egg Island. Also, with the paintings, I will send a signed copy of my book Egg Island. 

Egg Island is full of characters and strange things, but do not be alarmed because it’s normal here. Apart from the Egg people, dolphins sleep at the bottom of the sea, including a giant one as big as a ship and one even bigger. Baboons who think they own the place; firebugs as big as coconuts who light up the village; giant turtles who protect the kids when swimming; coconut crabs, bright orange with cat-like habits who like their belly scratched; little bees with big eyes always sharing honey and mushrooms that produce eggs and of course Captain Thomas and his shipwrecked crew.

Materials used:

Oil on canvas panel
