Pockets Warhol (born 1992) is a capuchin monkey, one of 18 residents (as of 2018-12-12) at Story Book Farm Primate Sanctuary near Sunderland, Ontario, Canada.[1] Pockets came to media attention in 2011 when the sanctuary held a fundraiser featuring 40 paintings by the monkey.

[2]

Early life

According to the sanctuary,[3] Pockets was born on April 1, 1992, and lived his early life as a pet in British Columbia. In 2009, Pockets' owner was finding herself challenged to look after him, and searched for a place that could take him. On finding Story Book Farm, she flew herself and Pockets to Ontario, and stayed with Pockets for a week to get him comfortable in his new home. The former owner still keeps in touch with the sanctuary.

His start as an artist

Shortly after Pockets arrived at the sanctuary, one of the volunteers, Charmaine Quinn, gave Pockets his surname of Warhol because his white hair reminded her of Andy Warhol.[4] This also prompted Quinn to give Pockets some children's paints to keep him busy, and he has never looked back. In December 2011, having accumulated 40 of Pockets' paintings, the sanctuary arranged an exhibition of the paintings at a Toronto diner, helping to raise funds for the sanctuary. The event was covered in the Toronto Star,[2] which in turn triggered international media coverage in/on: CBC,[5] the Daily Mail (UK),[6] Global News,[7] the Huffington Post (USA),[8] MacLeans,[4] and Vv Magazine.[9] A few months later, Pockets paintings were made available for sale online.[10]

Art collaboration

In Sept 2013, Brent Roe[11] and Scott Cameron (aka Scotch Camera) joined an art show with Pockets Warhol at the Gladstone hotel in Toronto.[12][13] In Sept 2014, MacLeans listed Pockets as the #8 top selling art animal in the world, based on the top price fetched for a single item.[14] According to Quinn, Pockets' work has been featured in art shows as far away as Estonia, Finland,[4] and Italy,[15] and purchased online from as far away as Tasmania.[16]

In May 2016, Anita Kunz visited Pockets at the sanctuary,[17] and subsequently donated one of her own paintings for Pockets to 'enhance'.[18] Ms. Kunz later organized an art show with 80 other artists as a new fundraiser for the sanctuary, held at The Papermill Gallery, Todmorden Mills from April 6–16, 2017.[19][20] Other participants in this collaboration included: Barry Blitt, Marc Burckhardt, Cynthia von Buhler, Seymour Chwast, Sue Coe, Yuri Dojc, Louis Fishauf, Jill Greenberg, Terry Mosher, Tim O'Brien, Ralph Steadman, Ann Telnaes and Martin Wittfooth.[19]

Celebrity interactions

In April 2012, sanctuary volunteers Charmaine Quinn and Izzy Hirji presented Dr. Jane Goodall with a photo of Pockets and a painting by Pockets for her birthday at the Jane Goodall Institute in Toronto.[21]

In March 2015, the sanctuary sent a painting by Pockets to Ricky Gervais and Jane Fallon as a 'Thank you' for their support of animal rights.[22] In June 2015, Ricky Gervais tweeted that he was donating an acoustic guitar to the sanctuary, with mention of Pockets Warhol.[23] After his performance in Toronto in September 2015, Gervais donated the guitar he used there, which subsequently raised US$4,150 in an online auction.[24] The winning bidder lives in the United Kingdom.[25] As of Feb 15, 2019 the guitar is up for auction again[26] having been signed by several other celebrities: Brian May, Peter Frampton, Will Ferrell, Bryan Cranston, Dhani Harrison, Ricky Warwick, Steve Cutts. This time the proceeds will be split between Story Book Farm Primate Sanctuary and Brian May's Save Me organization.

Mention in Books and Media

In June 2017, Pockets was featured in a PodCast by Phil Sansom of Cam FM at University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom.[27]

In March 2018, National Geographic Learning published the second edition of their Wonderful World series, in volume 1 of which a picture of Pockets painting is included, with a description of what he does.[28]

In March 2019, a new book by Grant Hayter-Menzies called "Woo, the Monkey Who Inspired Emily Carr: A Biography" (Paperback – Mar 2 2019) devotes the last chapter to Pockets and the other primate residents of Story Book Farm Primate Sanctuary.[29]
