Hugs and Fishes

I have a friend who is an avid (avid--rabid--tomatoh, tomahto ;-) penguin collector. She just celebrated a birthday, so I'll be surprising her with this. As a note--the original is a 5"x7" black and white claybord. The coloring was done in Photoshop ('cuz I'm chicken to paint it with what I currently have :-) .Copyright Shannon Reinbold-Gee August 30, 2005.

Artist Reply: Thanks, John. I haven't had a chance to see the movie yet--someday, maybe when my son's ready for babysitters... Heck, that may be a decade from now ;-)!

Took me some time to figure the image out. Nice stlye and direction. Unique piece. I'd really love to see you do color on the boards. Come'on! you can do it! ;)

Artist Reply: Thanks for your comment, Michael. Yeah, eventually I'll actually paint the boards--but my color palette right now only includes blue, green, orange and "antelope brown." Guess I should do some antelopes ;-) ...

a very cute piece.

Artist Reply: Thanks Laura--I don't often get to do "cute" and when I do I really like it--it's much different and childlike to me.

perfect original gift for a collector Shannon

Shannon Reinbold-Gee
Artist Reply: Thanks, Femi! I immediately gave a matted print of it to my penguin collecting pal and she was thrilled (although another friend was ticked at me because SHE wanted to buy the print for Christmas to give our mutual friend...). Anyhow, I assured the one I certainly wouldn't mind selling her the ORIGINAL to give as a gift. ;-) She snarled and so I'm doing a penguin papercutting for her to give instead :-) I am under STRICT orders not to give (or sell) THAT one to anyone else. :-) Works for me! :-)
