Behold the zonkey. It’s part zebra. Part donkey.

All awesome.

Weird? You bet. That’s the point.

The Zonkey Project™ aims to help innovation leaders, and indeed all people, learn to embrace and celebrate the wonder of the world’s oddities. Not “fix” them.

Get inspired. Get involved. It’s a zonkeyfest.

Hey Ya by Outkast

Musically, there is a highly unusual 2/4 bar here and lots of other strange hooks and wrinkles.

Electric Light Orchestra

Power chords plus... string section? And, fantastic (authentic) look on the lead singer!

Jockstrap-scented candle

I get creating an alternate for something you miss...I just didn't think to miss these parts of football!

Capybara

It has survived by making friends with different species isn't competing against them. Darwin must be spinning in his grave!

The Rocky Horror Picture Show

A rock-n-roll, horror movie parody with questionable plot and low production value - yet its part of mainstream culture?!

Burning Man

Build a civilization just burn it down. And then do it every year.

Liquid Death

Water, branded as a goth as it gets.

Mr Rogers Neighborhood

The show is about a middle-aged man who talks slow and wears sweaters.

Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga has been outrageous forever, but showing up to an awards ceremony in a meat dress is taking it to the next level.

Venus Fly Trap

Flesh-eating plant! Weird!!!

Eat Off Limits

Combo of nostalgic format with new-age ingredients.

murat yıldırım's Furry Art

Turning famous paintings into 3D art using FUR as a medium has got to qualify as a zonkey.

Out in the world we are constantly experiencing things. What is a zonkey to you? It could be a physical design or invention. Or a packaging design element of any kind (physical, graphic, even copy! We love weird copy and obsess about words in general). It could be a service of some sort. If could be an artistic creation, such as a written work, a painting, a photograph, or a song. It could be an unusually amazing new dish or cocktail...we love unexpected combinations, like zonkeys! Or it could be something occurring in nature.
