One of my favorite things to do here on the site is feature independent artists. I think it’s important to support creativity in any way possible. Whether it be a simple compliment when something speaks to me, purchasing prints, or a small feature or shout-out here on the site, I try to do whatever I can to encourage people who follow their passion and put themselves out there. There is one particular designer/illustrator who is near and dear to us here at Monkey in the Cage…
His name is Dennis Salvatier aka Tanoshiboy. Not only did he design our amazing and highly effective logo but he is also a fantastic illustrator and a constant source of inspiration. Oh, and did I mention that he is an all-around awesome guy who has also become a great friend? He even helped Ramses and our Intern survive the Zombie Apocalypse… but not Matt… R.I.P. Never forget. *hangs head solemnly*
Truth be told, even if I didn’t know Dennis personally I would still be featuring him on the site based on his talent alone. And we’re not the only ones to recognize it either, at the beginning of August he was a featured at a RAW Artists art show held in Hollywood. Check out his interview here:
Support independent art and our talented friend but visiting his website at:
Salvatier Studios or The Tanoshiboy Chronicles
Following him through social media on:
Facebook or Twitter @salvatier
Or purchase his products or commission him… Seriously, $30 for a pencil sketch is a steal and I know my fellow Roleplayers all a favorite PC that they’d love immortalized by a talented artist!
Still need convincing? Just take a gander at some of of his stuff:
For more Tanoshiboy goodness check out his deviantART page. He’s also your man if you have business needs for an accomplished graphic designer. You can count us as satisfied customers.






I edited to add a link to Dennis’ deviantART page too.

I love Dennis’ work. The super hero prints he did are awesome, as is the giant Hulk that is up in our studio.
Dennis is the man, even though he failed to save me from the zombies…
This reminds me that i need to commission a sketch from him (yes, I keep saying that…)
Im super happy to not only know Dennis but have some of his work! He is an amazing artist, Zed survivor and Monkey Lover! Long live the studio of Salvatier!
