don’t piss off the penguin

So, while searching for some illustrations for a design today I stumbled across this great set of cute animal icons from Turbomilk.com. I fell in love with the little penguin. I even named him Vernon. Doesn’t he look like a Vernon? Unfortunately, he doesn’t fit the design I’m working on (although let me tell you I did my utmost to think of any possible way I could use him). Finally, I realised it just wasn’t meant to be, so instead I created a wallpaper with him. Now I can look at him everyday. Awwww ;) If you like him too, I’ve created 3 sizes to download below. Thanks to the fine folks at Turbomilk.com for creating such a cute little guy.

That’s brilliant :) I’ve been in need of a new background.

The “Monsters” and “Underwater” sets from TurboMilk are nice as well, but the “Animals” set is definitely my favorite.

I can just see it now, tomorrow I’ll wake up shouting ‘Vernon’ instead of ‘Green felt!’
