Evil Prints in Park Hills, MO and Peacock Visual Arts of Aberdeen, Scotland present the fourth major triptych from printmaker Tom Huck.  A Monkey Mountain Khronikle is a devotional woodcut for the ages rendered in wood and paper and filled with bad food, guns, gluttony and the flotsam of modern life.

A Monkey Mountain Khronikle is not the Ghent Altarpiece and Lord Aporkalyptus is not here to offer solace or redemption to any of his supplicants, he is here to force feed us scenes of our own damnation.  Bosch may have assailed viewers with scenes of their own sufferings in eternity but Huck will assault us with nightmares that we have crafted for ourselves.   A Monkey Mountain Khronikle presents real world horrors wrought by our own hands and catalogs the innumerable ways in which we have fallen short in our mission to give a damn about one another.  

Over the course of five years and a global pandemic Huck traveled between his studio in the Ozarks hills and Aberdeen on the Scottish Coast carving his latest act of artistic retribution.  The first block of this multi block piece was carved in Aberdeen at Peacock Visual Arts in marathon twelve hour a day sessions.  The remaining blocks were completed in lockdown at Huck’s Spider Hole Studios as the world ground to a halt in 2020.  

Having already made its preview at New York Print week, Lord Aporkalyptus and Mr. Weiner McPicklehead are ready to be thrust on a world needing to face its limitless debt.  Rather than the marbled halls of a museum, A Monkey Mountain Khronikle is making its debut online, surely the most polluted sanctorum of our times, on November 26, 2022.  A Monkey Mountain Khronikle is not a warning about our future, but an act of revenge for what we did and can’t take back. 

At midnight on November 26 the inquisitive can find Huck’s new aggression against the world at lordaporkalyptus.com.  In the tradition of mass consumerism you can even shop the A Monkey Mountain Khronikle gift shop for all of your Lord Aporkalyptus and Mr. Weiner McPicklehead needs.  Get it soon before the apocalypse reclaims it.

This website is intended to give the curious, printmaking officianados, and most importantly the fans of Tom Hück a behind the scenes look at this massive undertaking which occurred from 2017-2022. This site takes the viewer on a journey from the earliest sketchbook pages to the final moments of construction of “A Monkey Mountain Kronikle”. We have left out all explanations of what is going on in the work and what it all might mean. The artist hopes that you can draw your own conclusions and use your imagination. You have the titles, which really is enough. Go for it!
