Bubbles’ artwork scores an ape-plus.

The famous chimpanzee, who once belonged to Michael Jackson, is having his colorful paintings sold at auction at Frames USA & Art Gallery in Miami, Fla. through July 31.

At past auctions, his compositions have sold for as high as $1,500.

Bubbles discovered his passion for a brush and canvas at the Center for Great Apes in Wauchula, Fla., where the 34-year-old primate has lived since 2005.

Proceeds from the auction, which also includes pieces by Bubbles’ chimp chums, will benefit the Center.
