I've been selected to be a Penguin artist! The Woodland Park Zoo recently opened a new penguin habitat, and to help raise money and awareness, the Zoo and neighborhoods are having a "Penguins On The March" event. Various artists will paint/decorate/etc their penguin, the birds will go on display around town for a month or so, and then they will be auctioned off.
Here's my fella coming home, safety first:
Yup, the Miata was just fine for bringing home the Penguin. I got to choose him out of a herd of possibilities - he looked like he needed the most care, what with no eyeballs painted on yet!
Here's Phoebe getting acquainted:
And here's the noble head of my artistic subject:
I can't wait to get started!! I have a couple ideas I'm mulling over, unfortunately most of my ideas need accessories, which would have to be waterproof, theft-proof, and yet still look good. Mull mull mull.
Arrr! Will it be a Pirate Penguin?

Hee! I was thinking about that, but might be too many other pirate penguins there... I do have something nautical in mind, though! :)
