Penguins!

I've written about the excellent shop Howkapow before and Kat and Roger, who run it (online and at its Bristol real-life version) have great taste and a fondness for colour and quirk that I love.

This print, Pinguinos, by the illustrator Abi Pickett, also based in Bristol, is another of Howkapow's great finds. Isn't it brilliant? It is signed and editioned and measures 28cm x 35cm and costs £45. (The shop also sells a rather marvellous penguin necklace, too.)

Abi is an illustrator, based in Bristol and describes her work as exhibiting her "own brand of humour, a love of pattern and an unhealthy obsession with her dog".

'Own brand', for sure. Prints on her own website include drawings called 'Koala Farts' and 'Smell Foot'.

But, being in charge of a four-legged pal, I like this...
