Collection: Monkeying Around

Monkeying Around is a limited‑run art series created by Cornelius Hardy. A founder-led universe where a single character, the Monkey, becomes a mirror for the culture, the moment, and the mindset of disciplined play. Each installment blends pop culture, real‑world commentary, and editorial storytelling, transforming the Monkey into a symbol of curiosity, ambition, and unapologetic individuality.

Every series is crafted with intention: signature red headphones, evolving outfits, and scene-by-scene narratives that capture the energy of the world right now. From city streets to surreal environments, the Monkey moves through life with a mix of confidence, humor, and quiet observation, a reminder that even in a serious world, there’s power in staying playful, present, and creatively awake.
Monkeying Around is more than artwork. It’s a timeline of cultural snapshots. A visual diary. A collectible story told one series at a time.
