PENGUINS & TOAST

Penguins and toast. An interesting combination for sure. No one is exactly certain when it all began, but the story goes something like this:


"I'm done," said a student.

"Great," replied Mr. Goldhammer.

"What do you want me to do now?"

"Draw me a picture."

"Of what?"

"Penguins."

"Penguins?"

"Penguins."

"That's it?"

"Umm...toss some toast in there as well"

"Toast?"

"Yeah. Penguins and toast."

"Penguins and toast?"

"Exactly."


So, penguins and toast was born. Thus far, hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions, of images of the combination have been created and are taking the art world by storm. The pairing has showed up everywhere from graffiti in subway stations to oil paintings hanging on the walls of the Museum of Modern Art. The most prized pieces however, remain at their source--room 303 of Mount Si High School. Be sure to head over to the official Penguins and Toast Gallery to see a rare sampling from this exclusive collection.
