3. Winding Down The Blog

The end of an era (for me at least) is happening in two weeks time, after 3 years and 1 month of blogging with Blogger, I'm going open-source and moving my operations entirely over to a swanky new Wordpress website. The site was built using a theme from The Theme Trust (who I can't recommend enough) and has a portfolio of work, a new blog to replace this one, and I've set up an online shop too.

I'll be doing an official launch of the site on the 28th May, exactly 31 months after I started this blog. I'll post an announcement and link here on this blog, plus posts on twitter, facebook and google+ and send out emails to those peeps on my mailing list.

I haven't come to a final decision as to what will happen to this blog yet, but I think I'll probably make it private, as to when I might do do that, well, I haven't decided on that yet either.

Thanks to everyone who's visited the site over the years, and especially to those who left comments, but the biggest thanks go to the small band of followers who've stuck with me, despite the increasingly thin on the ground posts. THANK YOU!

5. I think, therefore I am confused


I share some of the befuddlement of my creature for this month's A Little Bit Bunny, although if I were in the picture it might read something like:

"I think, therefore I am definitely possibly a bald ape"

7. It's that time again...

The ALBBunny theme for December is Dachshund, not an especially seasonal animal, whoever picked it obviously wasn't really thinking things through (I've gotta sheepishly hold my hand up to that one). But it's produced a couple of lovely little illustrations already from Colleen and Jon, and now I've thrown mine into the fray. Pop over right now for a sniff, don't forget to click on the image if you want a closer look.

The picture above is from the shop window of Blackwell's, and was my first ideas for this months creature. In the UK, pigs in blankets (cocktail sausages wrapped in bacon) are commonly served during Christmas lunch, and this was going to be my attempt to bring the festive spirit to ALBBunny. In the end I went for a more Feb 14th theme, and saved the Christmas cheer for my own blog. HoHoHo, Merry Christmas!

9. Christmas Window


Hi All, I spent a lovely day today with the folks from Brillustration drawing the Christmas Window at Blackwell's Bristol. Click on the links to see the full window in all it's Christmasy glory. If you're in Bristol over the next week or so, pop into the shop to see the other panels dotted around the ground floor.

11. How many faces can you squeeze on a squash?

Probably more than seven, but that's all you're getting tonight folks.
Happy Halloween, enjoy the festivities.









Apologies for the slightly damaged condition of the pumpkin,
turns out they don't last that long once you've cut 'em up.
I had to photograph it quickly tonight
before it turned hopelessly into mush.

13. If found, please return to Mr toodle


Well, it's been a while since my last blog post, and since I missed last months a little bit bunny too, I thought I'd share what I would have put up, if I'd managed to find the time. This post is dedicated to Liz, Mr Toodle's Number 1 fan; Thanks for all the support. xx

15. New studio! Whoop! Whoop!


The Toodle Saga has taken a new twist tonight as I've just finished moving into a new art studio, ably assisted by my good friend Carlton (thanks so much for all your help). Above is a pic of the space before anyone moved in, but it's a bit more cluttered now, as befits a work area. I'll be sharing the space with the talented and lovely Hannah Cumming, she's left of the plug socket, I'm right.

I was nervous leading up to the move, as it's a big step, both in time and money, and it means I now have to get (more) serious about my art. But now that my stuff is all in, I'm really excited, and can't wait to get stuck into more work, and different projects than I've been able to manage in the spare room at home. Here's to the future!!!
Whoop! Whoop!

21. Gupgups Design Comp: Update No 3

Hey Everyone, it's now possible to vote in the Designing Gupgups Competition. It's a bit confusing as to whether you're allowed to vote for more than 1 submission or not. But I've asked for clarification from the organisers, and I'll post what they say as soon as I find out.

Cheers, Mr Toodle.

25. Gupgups Comp

Hey all, I've been busy recently working on my entries for the Gupgups design competition being run over on the Toys R Evil blog. I've submitted all 6 of my allowance now, and what did I find when I visited the Toys R Evil today? Well I found a feature about my first two submissions; Mr Cop and Mr Robber. These are the only two that I designed as a pair, all my others are single pieces. If you want to see them you'll have to click on [this link].

Another of my designs was featured on the 11th June, as part of a collection of entries. To see the post [click here], but I'm not going to tell you which one it is, you'll have to guess or wait until 20th June when I'll post all of them here on my blog. Feel free to put your guesses in the comments of this post, I'd be interested to see how many get it right, and what submissions people think are similar to my style.

The 20th June is significant as that's when you'll get your chance to vote on you favourite submissions over on facebook. So be sure to check in on Monday to see my other designs, and for links to the voting page.

Cheers, Mr Toodle.
