This is another one of the four promotional posters that Chwast designed in 2004 for The Zak Company in Tokyo, Japan, announcing the Year of the Monkey. This composition, showing a phalanx of monkeys in black leather racing toward the viewer on motorbikes along a treelined road is at once eye-catching, comical, and slightly sinister.
