Before getting into the rhetoric, I want to thank you all for your feedback on my work. Thanks!
So I found myself digging back into some old files and I found these. I worked on this pilot show "3.2.1.Penguins!" six years ago. I have to admit that despite the production limitations (which were very many) it was fun working on it. I got to work with the amazing Michael Spooner who became my mentor. His talent and generosity are not of this world. 
#1 was for the penguins' spaceship, which was probably the most fun to design. Inside and out. I even ended up modeling it in the computer, for the show. I inspired the design from Raymond Loewy's 1934 pencil sharpener.
#2 was for an episode with jelly aliens whose mob boss was this scout leader named Uncle Blob. I created a whole set of characters and gags that ultimately were not used. The only thing that was used from what I proposed for that show was the name of Uncle Blob. Ha! Showbiz baby!
#3 was the Space Lounge where the Penguins would perform the end show musical number as a throwback to Hanna-Barbera's "Banana Splits" show.

new post! amazing stuff, doesn't really look like other things i saw from you but very funny. Take us to the moon, Daniel! lol.
This stuff is awesome. The first pic of the ship is a stand out for me, too cool. I want to see all those characters you designed that never got used!
Sigh. I miss it too. These drawings were one of the reasons I took the job.
maravilloso!!!!
top pic is fantastic! Has a Maurice Noble feel...
This is some of my favorite work of yours Dan...
I really love that 50's feel you captured.
Fantastic work, great styles!
So much great work you did going into that show...which never made it to the screen. Sigh.
Seeing your development work on Penguins was one of the highlights of the whole BI experience for me.
Show more! :)
Absolutely awesome stuff.
I am a huge fan, and I appreciate you sharing.
Those were certainly "the days" at the studio.

Absolutely beautiful, Daniel.
I like seeing your recent work too.
Let me know if you ever want some freelance work... that I can't afford to pay you for.
Penguins was definitely a fun show for me to watch. Loved the visuals, so thanks to you and all others who worked on it.
Keep posting, I'll definitely have this blog bookmarked.
