Ape of Lagos

Bored.
A tall tale of cyber apes
Kinging

 Raison d"etre 

The Haiku style poem is written for the design to complement the minimalist approach to the derivative of Jika (bored apes)

The aesthetic draws elements from the continous line drawings by Stacey Ravvero.

The short but powerful haiku is packed with layers of metaphors. The first line "Bored" references the state of being and sets up a punchline on bored apes in the second verse.

The second verse contextualises the first line. It references the ambiguity surrounding bored ape NFT"s and indeed the entire crypto art world.

The last line is a triple entendre that references King Kong, We The Kings Series from Stacey Ravvero"s body of work and Kinging meaning winning or thriving.
