The Puffin Club 50th Anniversary Huge thanks to everyone who has shared memories of their favourite Puffins and the Puffin Club via #postyourpuffin from as far away as Australia and the USA and those who came along to @illustrationhq to hear Sherief Hassan share his knowledge and love of the Puffin Club. #puffinpost #puffinclub #kayewebb #jillmcdonald #illustrationhq #nuffinlikeapuffin #sniffup

Maggie Scraggle Jill McDonald My contribution to #postyourpuffin had to include something by the wonderful Jill McDonald. She met Kaye Webb in New Zealand when Kaye was on one of her Puffin tours who immediately asked her to get in touch if Jill visited England. When Jill eventually arrived Kaye snapped her up to illustrate the new Puffin Club magazine. Almost single handed lay Jill created the most fabulous branding of Puffin and with her distinctive calligraphy, illustration and quirky offbeat humour she was magnificent. Sadly she died tragically young and with her passing and Kaye's retirement the Puffin Club lost momentum. #jillmcdonald #puffinclub #puffinpost #kayewebb #graphicdesign #pufginbooks @penguincollsoc @penguinpressart
