The Legacy of Toastie-O

So at the moment I'm currently working on the content for Macro Shrub #3, due out at the end of May, and I'm deep in the midst of finishing the second part of the new Toastie-O comic that started in Issue #2. The Second part promises to have alot of ridiculous action and drama, including some of the most ridiculous characters I've made to date, so as a way to get everyone excited I thought I would do a special blog post showing Toastie-O #1 and the first 3 pages from Macro Shrub #2...

To see the what happens in the rest of Toastie-O "The Ballad of Buttertron" Part One, head over to http://www.melonshrub.com/ and buy a copy of Macro Shrub #2 now for only 4.50 including P+P!!! To see the exciting concluding battle between Buttertron and Toastie-O, be sure to make sure you keep your eyes peeled for Macro Shrub Issue #3 coming out at the end of May!!!

We spammed, we screamed and we cried that it was coming- and finally here it is! Macro Shrub #2 is officially now on sale here at http://www.melonshrub.com/ !!! It's the second issue of me and Jack's 6-zine run for 2012 and it's full of original illustrations, writings, stories and comics!

Dazeray go to Oslo!

This is abit of a ridiculous post- but some hilarious pics I thought was worth showing! So me and Daisy, the infamous Dazeray went to visit our close friends Chris and Hilde who now live in Oslo, Norway! It was an awesome trip, lots of fresh air and I feel there will def be some norwegian inspired art from us both at some point!

Haha enjoy the holiday snaps...or don't - it's up to you ;)


(Both are awesome photographers for the record- Hilde is currently taking over Norway and soon to be the world, check her work out:http://www.hildephotography.com/ and chris has done some awesome archival photos as well as being a key contributor to Melon Shrub in the past: http://www.chrissadlerstudio.com/ )
