McDonald's

I passed rather a striking image in a bus shelter in East Street this morning, an image which appeared to involve the head of a penguin - or at least some kind of bird - and a cup and which was advertising coffee from McDonald's.

Further investigation did not turn up the advertisement itself, but did turn up the probability that what I saw was actually a human hand, not the head of a penguin, painted up by or in the workshop of one Guido Daniele, in Milan. An outfit which seems to do quite a lot of work for advertising agencies, quite a lot of them in Russia.

Did Sig. Daniele, a gentleman of just about the same age as myself, drop out of the Milan equivalent of the Hornsey Art College to go onto greater things? Or is he actually an accountant? Or a practitioner of Dungeons & Dragons? Or all three?
