and now, some penguins


I’ve been thinking of penguins lately, penguins in sweaters to be precise! It’s almost become something of an obsession, as doodle after doodle features a flappy sea bird in a finely knit jumpers.
It all started with the call for knitters to aid the oil exposed penguins in New Zealand. And seriously, when you see a picture like this (link to image), tell me you don’t feel the urge to draw handsome penguins too.
So here is a little charmer getting a soapy scrub down as his friend is distracted by a suspicious scarf.

PiBoIdMo


November rises and that means, it's Picture book idea month! YAY!
I loved participating last year and on top of a slurry of new ideas, I won the delightful book you see below donated by Jannie Ho. So again, YAY! Tomorrow I start the 2011 PiBoIdMo and I can't wait to see where it takes me.
