• Portraits From the Steampunk Planet of the Apes

    Chet Phillips imagines an alternate Victorian Era that's not only filled with rayguns and steam-powered contraptions, but also shows that technology being operated by furry-faced monkeys.

    Phillips' series "Steampunk Monkey Nation" is available on Etsy for $18 a print, or $8 for the entire pack of collectible cards, each containing the respective monkey's bombastic name, favored technologies, and backstory. Phillips also has a second simian series, "World War Monkey."
