Here's some penguins getting into the festive holiday season by sculpting a happy looking ice jack 'o lantern. I have always wondered why they are called jack 'o lanterns. Doesn't that mean "jack of lantern"? Wouldn't it be more appropriate to call them lantern 'o pumpkins? Maybe they're named after the Irish immigrant who first carved a toothy grin on a gourd. Here's to you, Mr. O'Lantern! Your creation will live in infamy!Speaking of living in infamy, I now will since I can say I've met Mel. I'm not sure why he hasn't put the labels "nerd, weirdo, crazy" under the post of me posing with him. Maybe it's just because he's an incredibly nice and talented guy! Check out his web presences.

You know I've always wondered the same thing. Who is Jack and why does he have his own lantern. It's right up there with Jack in the Box. Shouldn't it be Clown in a Box?
Lovely drawing none the less.
I think these penguins have the right idea, mix up my two favorite holidays, Halloween and Chistmas. Brilliant! Great post Adrian. Love it!
heheheh a beauty of a post Mr Ropp Love the expression on these guys!
(And by actually stating that you know me now may have actually hurt you in the popularity poll. Just a heads up...)
love the illustration! you have nice characters hehe
Oh, man - I thought I commented on this one over a week ago. How did I miss it?! I love it... good to see your penguin making a Halloween appearance. You never think about how penguins would celebrate Halloween, and that's a shame. Good stuff, man. Those are some cute little penguin chicks.
Fabulous stuff!
HI Adrian. Sorry been missing my usual visits....great new stuff!
Your penguins are always cute! But combining them with my favorite holiday was AWESOME!! Good work honey!
