Writing, editing, storytelling, and more from Jim Gibbons
Back when I was blogging it up on The Loudest Monkey, I held a coloring contest for my blog’s logo. I printed a copy out and infused it with colored pencil action. I recently found it in a drawer, realized I’d never scanned it and figured I’d do so here. Enjoy!

Well, the Krpy one is back again with another coloring contest submission and…well…it’s a bit out there, but hilarious!
Cheers Krpy, thanks for another great submission!
Two more entries just rolled in, and I was super pleased to see that they’re from my brother Dan Gibbons and Lake Forest, IL hometown hero Will Dugan, who goes to college in Denver with my broseph.
Here’s Will’s wonderful entry…
Sidenote: If you ever meet Will, make sure to ask him about any number of stories he has involving strippers. The one he’d told me from Vegas is particularly good…maybe not entirely true—who knows?—but a good story is a good story, dammit!
Here’s my broheim Dan’s hilarious entry (which I should mention, for the record, won’t be up for winning as it’s more of a photoshop job than a coloring)…
I recently got Dan and hooked on BSG via what we’re calling “Jim-Flix,” which is much like Netflix but features me doing the DVD sending. Dan sends me text messages and IMs here and there when stuff pops up on BSG that is crazy and/or mysterious, my favorite one so far referred to Starbuck and went something like, “Crazy and angry blonde pilot chick…are you hot or aren’t you?! I can’t tell?!” Good chuckles all around…but for the record, despite Dan’s questioning, Starbuck is officially extremely hot according to Loudest Monkey mandate.
Ok, asides aside, let’s keep those coloring contest entries rolling in!
And the coloring train keeps on rolling down the tracks!
Two new entries came in, both from the good people over at the WUMB, this first one’s from WUMBer Tomer Soiker a.k.a. Spidey_82, the first (ever!) international entry in the Loudest Monkey Semi-Annual Coloring Contest (all the way from Israel!)…
I love that Scalped cover!
And, from Clay Stooshnoff, better known to WUMBers as (._Y_.), another rad entry…
Keep’em comin’, folks!
The WUMB’s Thundermatts is the man behind the third entry in the SEMI-ANNUAL LOUDEST MONKEY COLORING CONTEST!
Another fantastic entry, thanks T-Matts!
Is it wrong that after seeing all these rad shirts on my monkey body that I realize my real life wardrobe is totally lame? Damn, I want some of these shirts!
Courtesy of the WUMB’s Dr. Nightmare, this one gave me a literal LOL i.e. I chuckled..HARD! Well done, sir!

And it’s fantastic!
KrpyKrwly from the WUMB got his in first and it is…AWESOME!
If I can continue to hope for and receive entries like this…well, I am in for a treat! Thanks for kicking things off, Krpy!
Alright folks, get your crayons out!
‘Cause I just love coloring, I’m officially announcing the first ever—and semi-annual—Loudest Monkey coloring contest!
My good buddy Seaby Bess worked up my rad logo and the I love it in classic black and white, but I’d love to see some color on this baby!
Here’s the skinny…
• Take the above Loudest Monkey image (or click HERE or HERE (to DL the image if on Firefox or IE) for it) and color it in any way that strikes you as fun and original (I’m partial to crayon, but any form of coloring is not only more than fine, it’s encouraged! Go nuts on photoshop or MS Paint…whatever!). Clicking the picture to enlarge the image and then printing it should work pretty well. It’s a pretty decent file size, so it should work out alright in electronic formats too!
•Send your image to TheLoudestMonkey[AT]gmail[DOT]com. All entries must be electronic, preferred as a JPEG no more the 250KB (get your crayon versions and painted versions scanned folks, or just take photos!)
• I’ll run each and every entry on the blog (barring it’s covered in profanity), so check back to see the entires!
• All entries must be received by June 10, and make sure to give me your mailing address in the email with your entry, because….
After the entry cutoff date, I’ll pick out a few of my favorites and send out some prizes to the lucky winners!
So, keep checking back in to see some rad coloring, and I hope to be able to decorate my desk area with numerous awesome entries just as I did to cover up the ugly pink walls of my room back in college!
This…this is one of those walls!
