monkeys are in trouble, Jimmy
explained.
“One side is reckless –– the
tomatoes in the eyes stand for
drunkenness and death. The other
side is sadness and depression. He is
eating an onion. Sometimes life gives
us things we have to eat. We can cry
about it, but it doesn’t mean we have
to stay in that state.”
Be the middle monkey,
Jimmy says, because it represents
equilibrium. “I call her Monkey Lisa
because she holds a secret. You
know you’re going to be sad and cry
and you need to take chances and be
daredevils, but you stay in the center
part. Don’t be afraid — basically
have a balanced life.”
Another mural, Independence
Day, was finished on July 4, 2017,
on the side of The Durty Crow, 2801
Crockett St. It’s autobiographic in
that the top-hatted and tuxedoed
man with drink in hand and cigar
in mouth (described briefly above)
represents Jimmy in the clutches
of crows, darkness. The crows are
undealt with things in life we all
carry around with us like excess
baggage. Jimmy said they must be
dealt with and seen for what they are:
enemies of equilibrium.
Through the series of murals and
the companion book he plans to
write (which will be narrated by the
wise Monkey Lisa) Jimmy hopes to
help others navigate life, to arrive at a
place less driven by societal “norms”
than by a desire to live a meaningful,
balanced life.
“One of the things I wanted to do
was be able to make a living at art
and then be able to help people by
giving them a message or a story they
can look at and maybe impact them
or make them think differently, to
want a more balanced life. I think if
people know what’s going on in their
lives they can make better changes.
Formerly from Weatherford,
Jimmy said he hopes soon to do a
mural on a historic building on the
Weatherford Square. He wouldn’t
give much away about it, but did say
he’s been talking to Parker County
Today’s editor/publisher about it.
Stay tuned.
