The Great Penguin

In this blog, I am paying my respects to the art of Andrew Wong.  Andy is a unique illustrator hailing  from Manchester, UK; he graduated with hono(u)rs from the University of Central Lancashire.  His artwork is reminiscent of the whimsy of Hayao Miyazaki, one of the giants in anime illustration.  Not only do I enjoy Andy's expansive imagination and quirky characters, but I also love his use of colors and lines.  In addition, he premieres penguins in his work - who doesn't love penguins?

Andy has submitted his recent work, titled "Sapp the Sapling", to Patch Together.  Please vote for his work so that his art can be transformed into a vinyl figurine:  Vote A Billion Times!


Vote for me!  I'm a tree!

Also, you can follow Andy's progress through his blog:  Moombaduo.

Happy Wednesday, folks!
