The three wise monkeys are a Japanese pictorial maxim that embodies the words “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil”. The three monkeys are called Mizaru (sees no evil), Kikazaru (hears no evil) and Iwazaru (speaks no evil). You will see that my monkeys (he he) are Japanese macaques, which is what the three buddies have originally been described as – they tend to have sandy or grey-coloured fur and red faces. But many representations, including emojis, show three brown monkeys. I decided that the three monkeys could use a modern spin and designed them as paying attention to the evil surrounding them rather than choosing to ignore it. Gods knows there is plenty of unhappiness and tragedy around us these days. I am a huge advocate of unplugging to remove the constant media frenzy from our minds. However, when people suffer at the hands of other people or when an injustice is happening, we cannot pretend all is well. [ 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 ] This is a digital PDF pattern only.
