An oil-painting style parody of the famous "Dogs Playing Poker" artwork. Seven Vervet monkeys sit around a circular wooden table covered in green felt, playing cards. A low-hanging red fringed lamp illuminates the scene. The monkeys look serious; some are smoking pipes, others hold cards or chips. The scene is rendered in a classic, dark aesthetic. At the bottom, a caption in a serif Caslon font reads: "…and Jimmy’s got the press asking if we’re real."

Life imitates art, imitates life.

When the news cycle gets weird, sometimes you just have to deal the cards. A little nod to the recent escape artists in St. Louis. #AIHumor #CreativeWriting #DigitalArt #VervetMonkeys #Poker #Typography
