I saw this in a rather lovely gastro pub in London last time I was back.
There’s an awful lot I like about it.
First there’s the rather jaunty fact that there’s no real reason to have a baboon there at all.
It’s merely telling you that you can have endless topups on your hot beverages (which is sadly not a common thing in the UK).
So, first there is a baboon. Nice.
Next bottomless is pictured with a bottom. Equally nice.
And such a nice bum too – the illustration is beautifully done, which is always good.
But I particularly like the fact it’s been so very carefully water coloured. Technically that’s a really nice job.
I’ve been drawing again recently, and using a fair bit of water colour, so I can say for certain that if you’re going to paint the hindquarters and visible genitals of a baboon… then this is tip top job.
And how rarely you can say that in the modern world!
Carry on monkey illustrator, carry on.

Or check out all the signs on the complete Signage Sunday page.
Found an ace sign? care to share – go on, slide it into the comments or send it to me in an email. I’d love to feature more signs from readers here…
A test – but also a very good looking bum
