Three Wise Monkeys — Other / Oddities
When we come across something exceptional, quirky, or simply hard to classify, we give it a dedicated place. This section gathers the most surprising and unconventional interpretations of the Three Wise Monkeys motif (see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil) that don’t fit our regular categories.
“Other” is a fallback category. If an item naturally belongs in one of our main Pop Culture sections, it goes there. Here we show edge cases — rare, experimental or one-off pieces.
What will you find here?
Rarities and one-offs: single pieces, short runs, prototypes, production “experiments”.
Cross-overs: the Three Wise Monkeys combined with other symbols (non-commercial, non-branding).
Errors and inversions: swapped gestures, unusual captions, hybrid “see/hear/speak” uses.
Ephemeral artifacts (when they don’t fit elsewhere): badges, tokens, leaflets, fairground souvenirs.
Anonymous micro-finds in the city: stickers, stencils, short-lived notes that aren’t advertising.
Pareidolia and “finds in nature”: shadows, wood grain, stones that “form” the three gestures.
Educational materials outside books/press: school posters, boards, wall infographics.
Take a look around this cabinet of curiosities — it’s the best place to see how widely and unexpectedly the Three Wise Monkeys motif lives beyond standard categories.
Got something that doesn’t fit anywhere else? Think it’s a rare/unique case worth documenting?
We’re happy to feature it with full credit.
