Update: So, they’re finally here… those pesky little Go Penguins! have invaded the Pool. We found out about their schemes back in July, and half a year later they’ve made their move. An Elite team of Thunder Chunky agents infiltrated a secret warehouse location late November to find the army of 200+ strong Go Penguins gearing up. We managed to smuggle out some close ups of the most dangerous ones just before they left for the invasion.
“..Go Penguins is a public art explosion of unrivalled proportions. Over 200 individual works of art will adorn and animate Merseyside’s streets throughout Christmas and New Year, bringing a very special brand of festive sparkle to the holiday season..”

We have seen Lambananas dotted around the city and a Giant Mechanical Spider parading across the main streets before perching itself on the side of a building. What next to hit the city of Liverpool? It seems like the city is continuing its culture trend with the help of some Penguin Sculptures. These flightless figurines are all part of the Go Penguins Scheme by Wild In Art, the people who brought us the Go SuperLambananas event last year. The scheme involves 3ft and 5ft penguin sculptures that can be designed in any way. 3ft penguins can be adopted by schools to show off their creative skills and these will be displayed in a city centre indoor venue while Artists are asked to work their creative magic on a group of 5ft penguins. The colony of creative penguins will form a ‚ÄòWinters Trail’ throughout the city during the winter festive season. It is a great way to bring the community together and share some fun and self expression. We will have more coverage of the Go Penguins when we draw nearer to the cold winter of Liverpool.

It’s always nice when you get an unexpected treat in the post… and we were chuffed to get a great little promo pack from new Liverpool-based illustrator duo Mumps! Recently formed by Ceri Jones and Oliver Smith, the duo already have a really neat portfolio of work. If you’re looking for some fresh new talent for a project, then these are your guys! (And of course, the fact they’re from Liverpool is just a bonus)

McFaul is a hard man to keep track of. He’s an illustrator, designer and an academic and he struts his stuff both this and the other side of the Atlantic. Since he’s originally from our neck of the woods we decided it was about time we caught up with the legend himself…
