Hello All,

In association with Screaming Sky Gallery, I would like to present the first series of Hugh Rose's False Idols!

Sky Monkeys are rare creatures, and each one can be found in certain corners of the world, where the right kind of tree grows and when the weather is just right. Entrenched in the mythology and folklore of their place of origin, Sky Monkeys embody the ancientness of the natural landscape and the subtle forces that still dwell there...

Here's the press release from Screaming Sky Gallery:

Introducing "Hugh Rose's False Idols (series one): Sky Monkeys" available exclusively through Screaming Sky Gallery! Hugh Rose has created this amazing blind boxed set of 7 four inch custom munny characters which will go on sale Tuesday March 20th at 12 (noon) PST.

Each box includes a hand made book with images of the complete set and character mythology, wood shavings to scent the piece and packaging, and a matching wood block with character background.

Here's the link to Screaming Sky's Shop, where as of 12 O'Clock PST March 20th, you can buy one of your own!:

Many thanks go out to Andria and Doug from Screamiong Sky, they are great people who are running a really awesome gallery, so while you are visiting their shop, check out some of their previous shows!

Thanks guys!

I really like those cherry blossoms, but the snowy mountain top guy has to be my favourite

great work yet again buddy. Good luck with the sales, I'm sure they won't last long

Yea the cherry blossom is my fav, but the rest of them are a close second

Cheers mate! Glad you like them!

From what I hear they should go fairly quickly... I'm going to be working through the release time so I guess I'll find out later on tonight



The Cherry Blossom Monkey seems to be the most popular... I really enjoyed making that one actually, but my personal fave is the Teak Monsoon Monkey.

good luck with your sale. My fav is the one with the hammer and crown

These are awesome. Each one feels like a different level of a videogame.

I would totally play that videogame.

All sold out! Thanks to everyone who bought one!



Glad you like him! He was really fun to paint. I was slightly worried he looked too dark, but I suppose I was going for a 'stormy' look




I'm glad you said that, sometimes I feel like I am playing a game when I make them. I must have played too much Final Fantasy and Fallout when I was a kid, so that is how my mind works now!

The whole idea of False Idols is to create more of a story and a world for the characters to exist in. Making a set of 7 characters has a lot more scope than creating just one commission piece.

I love them all! Great job!

Great work -- I can't even pick a favorite, I like them all.
