i feel like such a moron, i didn't get it a first, i was thinking/hoping that it was a monkey magic reference, though i couldn't work out the joke there either, i think because i have seen monkey magic shirts with the character's face printed in a similar format, and monkey has the ring on his skull
just thought i'd share my stupidity with you all
on to the design -- the text isn't quite right, but the design would be nothing without it -- maybe you should have a monkey meeting the banana ghost without any text, or a monkey who ate alot of bananas only to have an army of ghosts rise up against him!
How 'bout placed top right with a monkey cringing in the lower left corner - would that take care of the text issue? I think seeing a monkey on there would make me happier than the text ever could :P Awesome illustration, however
About my design
Hehehe, hugs and thx :]
