“The title compares the black and white plumage of the penguins to the black and white robes of Dominican monks. It was intended to be both gently comic and more bitingly satirical.”

April 25 is #WorldPenguinDay so enjoy some Adélie penguins! ⠀


This handsome couple, two Adélie penguins (Pygoscelis adeliae), common to all the Antarctic coasts, are hand printed in black ink with a hint of orange on white Japanese kozo (or mulberry) paper. Each print is 12.5” x 9.25” (31.8 cm x 23.5cm). Adélie penguins are the most widely spread and southernly penguins (along with the Emperor penguins).⠀
