The Penguin Pins and Buttons
Description: After spending the last 25 years entombed beneath a dull drop ceiling and the beigest of beige drywall, Santa Monica’s vintage 1959 Penguin coffee shop is being restored to its Googie glory. The jaunty-roofed dining room was designed by architects Armet & Davis (you know their work from Norms, Pann’s, and Johnie’s on Wilshire) and served up burgers and malts for generations before the building became a dentist’s office in 1991.
Description: This design captures the solitary journey of a penguin heading toward the vast mountains, symbolizing an existential rebellion and the search for meaning beyond instinct. Rendered in sharp pen-and-ink lines, it serves as a powerful visual tribute to those who choose to walk their own path, even into the unknown.
Description: This minimalist illustration depicts the "Nihilist Penguin" on its solitary trek toward the distant mountains, embodying a quiet act of existential rebellion against the status quo. It is a striking visual representation of the courage to abandon the colony and seek a unique purpose, no matter how uncertain the destination.
Description: The Penguin is an American superhero crime drama web television miniseries, based on the DC Comics supervillain of the same name. The series serves as a standalone sequel/spin-off to The Batman and the first television series to be set in The Batman Universe. The series is produced by Warner Bros. Television and 6th & Idaho and is released on HBO.
