A dystopian, cinematic scene set in a decaying futuristic city at night. A woman sits tensely on a worn sofa, lit by a small orange light, while an authority figure looms nearby. Speech bubbles show her listing authors — “Jane Austen, George Eliot… Simone de Beauvoir… Maya Angelou…” — in response to the question “What are you in for?” A guard reacts with hostility, saying “Cut it out or I’ll put you in isolation!” The image satirically portrays women’s reading and intellectual curiosity as something treated like a crime, blending feminist commentary with retro sci-fi noir aesthetics. Design by Monkey Chéri.

Retro-style political poster by Monkey Chéri with a red background showing a woman holding a telephone. Bold text at the top reads: “A linen shirt, James! Li-nen, not Lenin!” The bottom title reads “Accidental Communists,” presenting the scene as ironic political satire about misunderstanding and ideology.

NYT title today would have you remember Epstein first as a "disgraced financier" and Maxwell as his "girlfriend". Media shouldn't participate in the whitewashing of sex crimes from powerful offenders. #MediaCriticism #FramingMatters #Whitewashing #JusticeForSurvivors

Pamela Jo Bondi, doing her part to help an administration that calls itself, with a seemingly straight face, "The Most Transparent in American History."

Dystopian cinematic poster by Monkey Chéri of a woman seated in a dim interrogation room, with a scientist watching from behind glass. “What about your parents?”, he asks, and she answers “They thought Miyazaki was an Asian sauce…”. Moody lighting, futuristic decay, and a melancholic tone

“Dystopian cityscape with towering, decaying skyscrapers at dusk. In a small, warmly lit interior space, two figures sit talking. Comic speech bubbles read: ‘Like what?’ and ‘Like, I had to watch Kurosawa on my own in my 20s because my parents didn’t think it was a necessary part of my education…’ The image blends cyberpunk atmosphere with graphic novel storytelling.”

For the love of God
DO NOT Give pets as Xmas gifts.
Too many of these “gifts” end up at the shelter .
A Dog/Cat is a gift we give ourselves and they come with many
sacrifices.
Time,money, and a certain amount of collateral damage in their puppyhood.

#Art #PoliticalArt #DesignActivism #DystopianArt #Illustration #ProtestArt #ArtAsResistance #PostTruth #Booksky #Equality
Poster-style artwork by Monkey Chéri showing the silhouette of the Statue of Liberty behind the large text ‘… THAT ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL*’. Beneath it, a long block of dense fine print lists dystopian legal ‘conditions’ that undermine equality through loopholes, algorithmic bias, economic restrictions, surveillance rules, and political exceptions. The tone is dark and authoritarian, with distressed textures and muted colors.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”

What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”

Funny how that works.

A poster by Monkey Chéri featuring a monochrome dystopian illustration of a crowd of anonymous figures walking toward a blinding circular light at the end of a giant tunnel. The word “FACTS*” appears above them, with the fine print “*Strictly for the birds.”

“The decision was made to exclude me from the filmed production of Swan Lake because I was told my brown skin would disrupt the aesthetic.” ~ Misty Copeland

When folks gripe about DEI, remind them who benefited from shutting out dancers like Copeland. That pattern runs through our whole history.

A protest poster by Monkey Chéri for the era of surveillance—where rights are advertised like products, and the fine print keeps growing. A woman stands in a crowd of people who may or scarily may not support her in her protest against silence, intimidation, and the corporate–state merger of “acceptable speech.”

Over her is the word “JUSTICE” with a red asterisk. At the bottom, small-print text reads: “Exclusive plans available for discerning individuals & corporations.” The aesthetic mixes graphic design, satire, and dystopian commentary.

A graphic-novel-style illustration by Monkey Chéri of a woman standing in a dystopian urban alley at night, illuminated by cyan and red neon lights. Armored officers and shadowy men watch from the background. Bold text at the top reads “National Patriarchy Day,” and at the bottom, the fine print says “JK, it’s every day.” The style resembles cyberpunk comic art with dramatic lighting and a tense, oppressive atmosphere.

A distressed, vintage-style poster by Monkey Chéri featuring a cinematic portrait of a man in warm sunset light. He looks thoughtful and serious, standing against a blurred city skyline. At the top, bold text reads “WANTED.” Below, in faded stencil typography: “Men who can read, think, and live without harassing women.” The overall aesthetic resembles an old film poster, with cracked edges, scratches, and worn paper textures.

Illustrated cyberpunk-style poster by Monkey Chéri. In the foreground, a young woman with long dark hair, hoop earrings and a grey jacket stands confidently in a neon-lit city street at night. Pink and blue lights glow on wet pavement and out-of-focus figures walk behind her. Large white glitchy text across her torso reads “WANTED.” Bright blue text underneath says “STRONG, SMART, SASSY WOMEN WHO TAKE ZERO SHIT FROM DUDES.” Smaller text at the bottom reads “SINCERELY, THE WORLD.” The overall look is cinematic, neon, and defiant.

An old computer terminal glows beside them. At the bottom, bold text reads: “Resist • Spread Hope • Save a Democracy or Two.” The mood is contemplative and hopeful.
