Sketching on the train while listening to @wheeler’s Valentin serial, Paris Pas De Deux. Can’t get Valentin right.

I love it! Not the handsomest Valentin, but it’s definitely a recognisable beaten-up Valentin expression!

I mentioned on Twitter that there ought to be a Penguin Classics cover generator on the internet. An instant later, my old friend Sigma 7 made my dream come true.

Sure, these aren’t real, but I can’t tell you how satisfying it is just to pretend for a moment! Try it yourself; go generate your own fake Penguin Classics book cover and stick your name on it. You will magically feel about ten feet taller.

(It should go without saying that this was created in a spirit of good will and appreciation for a design classic. I’m sadly certain that there are lawyers at Penguin who will feel very differently.)

Reminder: These covers aren’t real, but the books are! And the real covers are actually even better!
