This weekend I went to visit my penguin. My penguin is almost as big as me and made from fibre-glass. It is hollow which means you can get inside it and although it really smells you can scare people quite a lot by making slight movements.
I've been commisioned to paint this peguin which will form part of a city wide display of giant penguins, that's coming out at christmas. Weird I know, but it's atually a good money making sceam, they've done it before with superlambananas (which is a scupture made of half a lamb and half a banana.) businesses pay a lot to sponcer a pengin, a lot of people come to liverpool to visit the penguins which generates money for liverpool, and artists get paid well and then at the end they aution off the penguins and make a lot of money for charity, so everyone is happy. So the penguin thing is basically an idea someone had to drag out the superlambanana thing which made everyone rich, But the cover story is that the penguins highlighting the issue of climate change.
So I went to the penguin factory at the weekend which is at liverpool inovation park. I spent a good 15 minuits wondering around an empty car park before I found some primative forms of life in the security hut. That was a bit harsh, their ok but they kept call petal and pumkin and other ridiculus names that only a grandmother should say. I then eventually found the door to the penguin rooms and walked through 3 rooms filled with hundreds of white penguins staring at me in a creapy way before I eventually forund some real life people.
