Today we just have a few bits and pieces that I ran across while digging in boxes looking for stuff. Just the kind of graphic tidbits I love to collect.

Well, today is the one year anniversary of my blog. I have to say it has been fun and I am really glad that I did it. I think the blog that inspired me to do it was Ward Jenkins' and I like to think that my blog has inspired a few other people to start their own blogs. Readership of the blog has pretty much grown continuously but special thanks have to go out to Boing Boing , Cartoon Brew, Old Man Musings and Drawn for featuring me at times and Blogger just a few weeks ago picking me as a blog of note (and for hosting my blog). Tons of other people have supported me by commenting and enjoying the blog. So a big thanks to everyone. The next year will be just as crazy with tons of new Mr Toast stuff going on and I am sure I will be finding other fun old cool stuff to post about. So stay tuned.

Just finished this up this morning. If interested I have it for sale on Etsy in my store.

I am starting to work on some new plush softies and started with the Smiling Sun. I am pretty happy with it. More experiments today.....

Mr Toast likes to take trips. Today he is in Washington DC across the Potomac River from the Jeffereson Memorial. Inside the Memorial is a large bronze statue of Thomas Jefferson, one of the founders of the United States.

When I first got this box, I didn't think much of it. But I saw it the other day and found that it had really become appealing to me. Nothing like little kids with tounges stuck out ready to chow down on cereal.

I never get tired of painting leaves with faces.
