This neat book was put out by one of my favorite publishers, PIE Books in Japan. Covers Japanese advertising character design. Most of the work is from the last 5 years but for those of us that don't live in Japan it is a great primer to all the crazy design that goes on constantly over there.

PARADE arrives
Finally my new book is here! PARADE is 64 pages of Mr Toast fun, with comics, gags, photos, paintings and a lot of silliness. You can order from me directly (email grickily@yahoo.com) or buy it in my Etsy store.
Publications of Note - HI-Fructose #4
The new issue of Hi-Fructose is out and even though I helped out a tiny bit with the magazine, I can't praise it enough. There are articles about Fawn Gehweiler, Ray Caesar, Ragnar, Gary Taxali, Lesley Reppeteaux and Saurkids. But the thing that makes the magazine great are all the little featurettes thoughout the magazine on toys, artists and fun culture. The magazine continues to be image driven and wallows in the goodness of the active art scene that is going on right now. You can order it from HI-FRUCTOSE but do it before they sell out....

Mr Toast USA Tour buttons
To commemorate the Tour, I had these buttons made. Everyone of the hosts will get a set. I had extras made and they can be bought in my Etsy store.
I do still need hosts in a few states - Delaware, Iowa, Maine, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont, Wyoming. So if you are in one of those states and want to host (and get the buttons) let me know.

I am still looking for hosts in the following states - Delaware, Iowa, Maine, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont, Wyoming - any help would be appreciated.
