You can buy an original painting by Cheeta the Chimp

[Solidstate]

I only own a couple of pieces of film memorabilia.

An original 20 year old Lethal Weapon poster and a painting by Cheeta the Chimp from the 1930s Tarzan movies.

In case anyone is unaware, Cheeta is 75 this year and is the world's oldest chimp. He's living out his retirement in a sanctuary and paints pictures in return for a modest donation to pay for him and his fellow primates.

You can read more about Cheeta here.. http://www.cheetathechimp.org/

I thought some people may be interested to find that they could buy a painting done by a real live movie star. You can choose your colour scheme and it comes complete with a certificate and the picture has Cheeta's thumb print on it. Each one is unique and they do ship to the UK.

It makes a great talking point when anyone comes round to the house.

Here's a couple of pictures of mine in case anyone wants to see what you get.

Theres a picture of my "Apestract" painting (put into a frame by me) & also the Signed photos and certificate that I got. The signatures are impressively similar to one another.

The picture is on an Artists canvas (a piece of rigid wood-like board with a canvas type surface on one side). It is therefore sent in a big cardboard folder/envelope and not rolled up as I first expected.
