The holiday season brings out the charitable spirit in everyone. Yet many give to others all year round.
The penguins are activists in many areas, supporting good causes and positive efforts all over the place. From reading, recycling or American pride, the penguins are here to lend a helping hand and a little extra support.
Since the [...]

Due to all the last minute overnight free shipping 50% off deals around the universe, the elves are putting in double time to make your gifts – I sure hope you’ve been good!

(otherwise that’s a lot of overtime our taxes are paying for just for a few lousy lumps-o-coal)These elves are sold separately – accessories [...]

I remember, when I was young, we used to sit around and draw on the walls (or so they’ve said). Living in the middle of a blueberry patch, the only color of paint I had was blue…Here’s a reproduction of that very first ever penguin I painted in a cave long long ago:

Yeah, ok, that [...]

A penguin pal of mine shared their ninja penguins today which reminded me how much I love the idea of penguins decked out and ready for ninja tactics.
ohhh he looks so mysterious, don’tcha think? If James bond were a penguin, this would be his nemesis I’m sure!

as always, this fabulous ninja penguin is available on [...]

Have you ever wished you had some unconditional support? A pal, a chum, an adoring fan that loved you not matter how goofy or smelly you get?
Well the penguin probably comes close. He’ll shout his praises for the land that you love (assuming it is one of the 50 United states or one of 18 [...]

Today is not a good day to go fishing, at least not in Colorado. I can’t do a whole lot of fishing in the middle of the freezing winter season – no I’m not a fan of the ice fishing concept. However, when I was little I loved to fish!, Both of my grandparents would [...]

There is no little poem today
oh no, I have much more to say.
Not to mention I’m nearly out of time..
so here’s a break from another corny rhyme.

Leonardo Da Vinci has always been one of my all time favorite artists, but not because of his famous paintings like the Mona Lisa or the Last Supper. I’m [...]

Chanukah this year is December 11th through December 19th, and although I myself am not Jewish, I have heard wonderful things about the scrumptious food during the holiday season. One in particular I want to try is Latkes. So a few years ago, while talking to my friend Jean over at Rotem Gear, I made [...]

I recently discovered Daily Booth, a site that is there simply to share a photo a day with friends.  I started to take a picture of my own smilie face and then the penguins cut in and took over. Such is the way of a penguin.

If you’re celebrating Thanksgiving today, have a wonderful day!

Some days you just need to wake up and start the day off feeling as fabulous as fabulous gets. Those are the kinds of days I wish I had more often… instead of my usual “wow I should really start that work out plan today”. But to help remind you of all that is great [...]

I love this photo, not because I made the earrings in the photo, but the colors and the collage of images looks like happy candy.

Tiny little circles of happiness you can wear with you anywhere you go. I wasn’t sure how this small sized JGoode art would do. However in the local stores, these cute [...]

Yesterday my daughter wanted to play outside and didn’t want to wait for anyone to help her get ready. Snow or not, she was headed outside to water her flowers…

At least she managed to pick the proper footwear.. right?

Every now and then I find myself wishing I would travel outside of my bubble of a world, but until I become a millionaire with disposable travel funds and my own jet plane, I’m a little stuck. So sometimes I like to escape to a virtual world to create new things and explore 3D ideas [...]

At least that’s what they say, “football isn’t cute!”. Well According to my artistic mind it is, so if you’re into cute footballs too… here’s an extra smiley football just for you!

A design I created in 2005 yet it still holds a spot in my top 10 list. I’m quite fond of the vintage/aged style of design and daisies have always been a favorite flower. So, this design has a special place in my heart. It’s the message of love lasts… the kind of sentiment I [...]

Today is Veteran’s Day and I just want to say… Thank you! (With a little penguin love.)

Military themed designs by JGoode
My family is full of military history and dedication, mostly through the Air Force. When I was really young and my dad was active duty, we lived on base – I always thought it was [...]

Autumn sunset. How many places have you seen such amazing colors at sunset? This photo doesn’t nearly do the scene justice. The sky was a rich blue while the sunset was filled with golds, oranges and pinks.

This photo was taken on my way to Boulder, heading looking west on Highway 36. I wouldn’t recommend taking [...]

November is also stamp collecting month sponsored by the United States Postal Service so today’s image of the day are a few of my own stamp designs. In elementary school I collected stamps for a bit. My 6th grade teacher was the group leader for our school stamp collecting club so I checked it out. [...]

Throughout the year we can find heaps and piles of different culinary traditions around the world. Here in the grand U.S. of A we like to gobble up turkeys… but only with a spirit of celebration in November.
Combine that thought with comments from a few of my friends that like to joke about eating penguin, [...]

Two snowmen by JGoode

This is one of the few snowman designs I’ve created and I still love it. I collect snowmen so it’s a bit odd that I don’t have more snowman illustrations of my own.I think I’ll have to add that to “the list”.

Spring Mini Magnets
I love spring, and now that it’s months away, these cheerful mini magnets sitting on my fridge help keep the winter gloom at bay. It’s a set of 4 handmade 1″ magents featuring cute garden themed doodles: Pansies, Echinacia, White Daisy and the Spring Garden Penguin. Available through etsy.

We woke up this morning to a path of bunny tracks leading all the way to our front door. I’m thinking our resident rabbit pal thought it would be fun to try to trick-or-treat a day early. Or maybe he was beggin’ to come inside and we just didn’t hear him knock.

How exciting…
Super Bunny was [...]

I was recently checking out the writing of Drew Bennett from BenSpark.com and was fascinated by his photo-a-day story. For the past 4+ years he’s been posting one photo every day, essentially creating a photo journal. Each image by itself is a simple moment, but together they tell an amazing story about a man that [...]
