Alan Cumming and longtime bestie Tonka have collaborated on a new abstract painting inspired by the Royal Banner of Scotland: “We chose a non-toxic brand as Tonka loves tasting paint as part of the process”

The abstract painting is being auctioned on Charitybuzz to benefit the Save the Chimps sanctuary in Florida.

Cumming and Tonka — who became close pals when they starred in 1997 comedy “Buddy” — used the colors of the Royal Banner of Scotland, the actor’s homeland, for the piece being auctioned on Charitybuzz. Save The Chimps“I painted and signed the bright yellow basecoat, and Tonka used a vivid red to add brushstrokes, an homage to the Scottish Lion Rampant,” Cumming told Page Six. Tonka is the subject of the HBO doc “Chimp Crazy.”“It’s horrible to think he might be in a cage in a dark basement somewhere or have met some other fate, so I’m appealing to whoever knows what has become of him to please come forward and claim the reward,” he said.
