This 1993 ink-on-paper illustration by Geissmann features nine distinct poses of a stylized cartoon monkey, each conveying unique expressions and body language: contemplative, aggressive (“GRRR!”), relaxed, surprised, and swinging joyfully. The clean linework, exaggerated features, and expressive tails highlight classic character design principles ideal for animation or comic development. Signed and dated in the lower right, the piece exemplifies mid-90s European comic sketch aesthetics.
