Penguin Cover Kids Hoodies

How cute are these little guys? Humboldt penguins, captured on camera on my travels, then made into a repeat pattern :)

Classic Green Penguin book cover Agatha Christie's Body in the library.

After spending the last 25 years entombed beneath a dull drop ceiling and the beigest of beige drywall, Santa Monica’s vintage 1959 Penguin coffee shop is being restored to its Googie glory. The jaunty-roofed dining room was designed by architects Armet & Davis (you know their work from Norms, Pann’s, and Johnie’s on Wilshire) and served up burgers and malts for generations before the building became a dentist’s office in 1991.

Part of my supermarket coaster collection. Imagine Audrey Hepburn high-heeling into Morrisons canteen smoking a cigarillo. That perfect lip gloss smudging on the crust of a bacon sandwich. #notsoglam

From my Shakespeare coaster collection. When William Shakespeare is not writing sonnets to his male lover, or writing comedies that aren't funny, he imagines stories where nothing happens, except a bunch of words; often in the wrong order.

From my Shakespearean spoof coaster collection: A tragic romance is a rare genre of play, but Will Shakespeare - the bard of his day - nailed this pot boiler. This design contains a 500 year old plot spoiler.

Part of my supermarket coaster collection. Samuel Beckett’s interminable play has strong parallels with waiting in a supermarket queue except of course for Waitrose, because service standards are so high!
