Douglas Coupland is one of my favourite authors, and he's a really interesting person all around. I haven't had the chance to meet him... yet, but he's Canadian as well so it's not impossible that I might run into him at a supermarket one day. He studied art at Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design, and has taught at design schools in Japan and Italy. This is a side of his not as well known, and I was surprised to find out about his artistic abilities. But I'm glad I did.

I posted a while back about the intro to his TV show, JPod, which I loved the design of. Now I'm posting about just a couple of his collage works called The Penguins, which are made out of old penguin book covers. I think they're fantastic and I would love to see more like this. More of his art work can be found here, at his website.
