Artist Description

The Impatient Bookends is a humorous look at the culture of Penguin books. I can imagine penguins acting as bookends then aimlessly waddling off, this image makes me smile! I absolutely love humour in art, well humour in general. Looking at the world tongue in cheek is a wonderful way of seeing, it does not make life bearable, it makes life absolutely delightful!
The row of vintage penguin books is a testament to the enduring Penguin brand and the history they hold in every page.
