Hi my name is Mike...

Super Awesome Robot

So today at work I had a chance to doodle on my break and started humming this theme song for a guy called "Super Awesome Robot" and this is what I imagined he would look like:

Belly Kids Bill Murray Colouring In Book!

So I'm actually a HUGE Bill Murray fan. Like seriously, I don't think there's one film he's been in that I don't like! So naturally when Belly Kids asked if I wanted to be involved in a Bill Murray Colouring in Book - I said YES and now I'm one of 25 awesome illustrators (seriously did you check the list, they're awesome!) who have drawn Bill Murray, both coloured and left black and white for you to have a go yourself!

Check out all the info here at Belly kids: http://www.bellykids.co.uk/2012/02/29/thrill-murray-detail/

And below is my coloured drawing of Bill Murray...having escaped groundhog day he's gotten a lil older... you know like real life?

Macro Shrub #3 Launch...

Yes! It's true, we spoke with the queen herself and her majesty is very excited about our forthcoming issue of macro shrub! However we forgot that our launch coincides with her Jubilee weekend, and what with the busy festivities and disruption of the post office etc. it looks like the queen will miss her chance to read macro shrub #3 straight away! So we said no problem queenie, we'll launch it AFTER the jubilee weekend so you can rest your feet with a cuppa and enjoy our literature and art! MACRO SHRUB #3 OUT ON JUNE 6th and now at only £4.00 including post and packaging!!!!
