About

This striking digital illustration by illustrator Sam Murdoch features a vibrant blue monkey perched among pale, stylized tree branches. The monkey has dark facial features and a distinctive circular ruff around its head, rendered with clean outlines and subtle shading. It is set against a solid, textured red background with a visible dot matrix pattern that adds a retro graphic feel. The composition uses high-contrast colours with crisp black ink lines defining the forms of the branches and subject. The illustration balances flat graphic areas with textured gradients, creating a bold visual presence.
