Evangelion Sketch

After loving the gundam sketches by Jon Boam and then watching evangelion last night (if you haven't watched neon genesis evangelion then i suggest you do) I started doodling with my felt tip and blasted out this lil fan pic of eva:01 - think I'm gonna do more as it was really fun! Check it out!

Avon Cottage

Avon Cottage, you know that band I play bass in with my best friends that have been on and off for like the last 5 years? Well we're finally ready to try and take on the world this summer, with 10 new songs under our belt nearly perfected we should be gigging around June/July in london- so to get excited, here's some new band artwork from me, continuing my odd obsession with weird, naked hairy dinosaurs playing guitar, whom have cottages for heads! I promise you... you won't be disappointed!

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 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!!!

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 ;)
