Gorilla art because -- why not?
Chris said he happened to be watching TV when he came upon a program about a 20-something-year-old silver back gorilla who paints. With his fingers. The gorilla's owner had apparently been trying to come up with ways to fundraise to support his gorilla and hit upon the idea of selling his gorilla's paintings.
There was something touching about Chris' description of the gorilla, one of many males and not enough females. In addition to raising money, the owner also wanted to find something for his gorilla to do. To make the days go faster, so to speak.
Chris also had this to say when he saw the gorilla's finished work: "It looks remarkably like my dad's art."
Without further ado I present this link where you can view some gorilla art for yourself. There are several galleries. Unfortunately I couldn't find purchasing info. If you're curious like me, you'll want to read about Koko and Michael.
