All Penguins

8-Bit Penguin. 8-Bit Penguin. This penguin traveled in time from 1985 to join his present-day friends.

Alpine Penguin. He's playing an alphorn and wearing liederhosen.

Angel Penguin. Little known fact: All Dogs go to Heaven was initially going to be about penguins.

Army Penguin. One of my early creations, so the detail isn't that great. Anybody want to list all the errors in his outfit?

Artist Penguin. All great artists wear their dad's old dress shirts backwards as a smock.

Bagpiper Penguin. Little known fact: penguins often play the bagpipes as a way to scare away attacking leopard seals.

Ballerina Penguin. I've heard criticism that this and Witch Penguin are my only female penguins, but is there any reason that most of the other penguins can't be considered female?

Baseball Penguin. Yes, the team name is "Penguins." There is also a framed, hand-drawn version of this in my parents' dining room. A collector's edition!

Bass Penguin. Requested by Ryan Ford many years ago. Drawing the bass was very difficult, but I got my revenge with the spittle trickling out of the mouth.

Bassoon Penguin. Bassoon Penguin. Getting quite frazzled after going through so many reeds.

BBQ Penguin. BBQ Penguin. Feel free to pretend those are veggie burgers if you prefer (although they're probably not).

Beach Penguin. Prepared for the effects of global warming.

Beekeeper Penguin. He tolerates the silly outfit because he just loves honey that much.

Birthday Penguin. What kind of presents to penguins give each other?

Bobsled Penguins. This is how I learned that Antarctica looks a little bit like a rhinoceros.

Box Penguin. It's a penguin in a box. What more is there to say?

Bride and Groom Penguins. Featuring the rarely seen left-facing penguin!

Business Penguin. Amazing how professional this penguin looks, even without pants.

Cave Penguin. I'm not sure why, but he is very happy to be a cave penguin. And to those of you who think some of the elements are more "primitive" than "cave", I declare artistic liberty.

Chef Penguin. I believe this was a turning point in my penguin creation, where my attention to detail increased to a certain level that led to a more consistent quality among the penguins.

Clown Penguin. Penguin hair is tough. This is an early creation before I knew better.

Dad Penguin. This was a Christmas present for my dad.

Devil Penguin. I should have given this penguin an accordion. (points to you if you get that reference without any Googling)

Doctor Penguin. The face mask was actually the toughest part of this.

Dracula Penguin. Dracula is often portrayed as being able to turn into a bat. Would that make this a very rare flying penguin?

Dutch Milkmaid Penguin. My mom wanted a Dutch Penguin, and the classic Dutch Milkmaid is the Dutchest thing I know. My grandparents actually had one of those small Dutch milkmaid figurines that was always sitting out. It was, however, not a penguin.

Emperor Penguin. Get it?

Evil Penguin. Previously a blooper reel penguin, Evil Penguin was voted into the official ranks of Sam's Penguins by the loyal fans.

Farmer Penguin. This is one of my favorite earlier works. I've always thought it came out really well.

Firefighter Penguin. Not that many fires break out in Antarctica (I assume), but when they do, the penguins are ready!

Football Penguin. I don't love this penguin. It's one of the early creations.

Frankenstein's Penguin. Dr. Frankestein's second creation didn't terrify the townspeople quite as much as the original.

French Stereotype Penguin. French Stereotype Penguin. Not a mockery of the French people, but of the stereotype. Although I hear from a reliable source that these shirts are still popular.

Ghost Penguin. I'm assuming that whatever made his feet disappear is the same thing that made him a ghost.

Graduation Penguin. I made this in honor of graduating students at Hartt, but I can't remember if it was for my class (2004) or the class before me.

Headless Horsepenguin. Headless Horsepenguin. Drawn for a Halloween concert that was pushed back due to a freak October snowstorm, this penguin ended up featuring very little "penguin", but was fun to draw nonetheless.

Hippie Penguin. Although it's hard to find a tree to hug in Antarctica, he's doing what he can to promote social change.

Hipster Penguin. I had a lot of inspiration when I lived on Lark Street in Albany.

Injured Penguin. This is an autobiographical penguin, as I was on crutches for a very sprained ankle when I made it.

Invisible Penguin. It was tempting to draw this one without clothes. It would have been so much easier.

Jockey Penguin. In case you're wondering, penguin jockeys ride ostriches, not horses.

Jogger Penguin. I don't love the shirt on this one. Doesn't sit quite right.

Judge Penguin. The penguin judicial system doesn't involve juries, so Judge Penguin is surprisingly powerful.

Karate Penguin. Yes, I did look at pictures of the Karate Kid when looking for inspiration for this penguin.

King Penguin. Another delightful pun.

Knight Penguin. The helmet was very difficult to pull off. Note that the part covering the beak (experts: what is that called?) can't actually be lifted. Oh well.

Liberty Penguin. The statue of liberty would have been so much cooler if they had used my design.

Lumberjack Penguin. He's okay. He sleep all night and he works all day.

Mail Penguin. I could never quite figure out how to perfect the mail bag. Still looks too much like a purse.

Maintenance Penguin. This is the most autobiographical penguin here. Every piece of it is based on my time working maintenance at the town park.

Marching Penguin. One of these days, I should make a whole marching band.

Matador Penguin. I don't condone bullfighting, but I couldn't resist drawing the excellent costume. Also, it made a good birthday present for Peter Bruce Bard.

Mom Penguin. This was a Christmas present for my mom.

Monk Penguin. He lives in San Francisco and helps solve murder mysteries... oh wait, am I confused?

Mummy Penguin. It's the loose pieces of bandage that make this work. The first draft didn't have them and it just looked silly.

Nerd Penguin. I'll let you decide whether or not this one is autobiographical.

Ninja Penguin. After a five year break, this was the first penguin I made for the new Facebook page.

Noir Penguin. He spends his time in the dark, seedy underbelly of Antarctica.

Parent Penguin. While it is difficult to carry a diaper bag without shoulders, Parent Penguin is willing to do it for the little baby penguin.

Pharaoh Penguin. He's jealous that he doesn't get a pun like the other 'ruler' penguins.

Pilot Penguin. Unlike Dracula Penguin, this penguin doesn't need to turn into a bat to fly.

Pirate Penguin. One of the earliest penguins, but always a favorite.

Pirate Penguin 2.0. I never loved the hat on the original Pirate Penguin, so here's a different style.

Prison Penguin. He was arrested for destroying parking meters.

Punk Penguin. This was actually the very first official Sam's Penguin. I hadn't quite perfected the template penguin yet, so his arm is just a little different than all the rest.

Reaper Penguin. He enjoys a nice game of Battleship now and then.

Ringmaster Penguin. Although he might be Clown Penguin's boss in the ring, they are close friends outside of work.

Robin Hood Penguin. A very early creation, as made obvious by the lack of detail.

Roman Penguin. I really need to figure out a more accurate name for this penguin.

Safari Penguin. He went to visit his South African Blackfooted Penguin friends and decided to keep traveling north for a little safari adventure.

Scientist Penguin. I really like this one. One of the rare times when I got hair to work.

Scuba Penguin. I'm not sure he understands the whole concept of being a penguin.

Snowball Penguin. Sometimes the requests I get are rather odd. This is one of those times.

Snowtoberfestageddon Penguin. A little levity for all of us in New England who experienced a surprise snow storm at the end of October, 2011.

Soccer Penguin. If you're outside the US, I guess this should be the Football Penguin.

Student Penguin. Don't all students wear backwards baseball caps?

Superhero Penguin. His power of flight makes all other penguins jealous.

Tennis Penguin. Does that look more like a badminton racquet to anybody else?

Toy Penguin. Another instance of an odd request.

Tuxedo Penguin. He took the usual tuxedo jokes far too seriously.

Walking Penguin. Drawn in honor of Jessi Rosinski when she did the 3-Day for the Cure walk (60 miles). The big question is if she, like this penguin, wore a fanny pack.

Witch Penguin. I'm not sure if it is possible for a wart to grow on a beak (probably not), but there you have it.

Wizard Penguin. I think this was one of the first penguins to have a shirt.

X-Ray Penguin. This is exactly what a penguin would look like when x-rayed. Very accurate.

Zombie Penguin. Not for the faint of heart. If you see one, either grab a shovel or run. If you don't know what to do with the shovel, run anyway.
