mr. toast

Dan Goodsell, whose Taschen Icons book Krazy Kids' Food is an indispensable source of inspiration for me (and which I wrote about here), liked my photos and asked me to take some of the toy incarnation of his character Mr. Toast. How could I refuse? Here's the result. This a corner of my kitchen - Mr. Toast seems to be running through on his way to something important. Mr. Toast's comic strip adventures can be found here. This is a current fave.

But don't stop there, Dan Goodsell's website is a treasure trove for sure. There's his collection of kid's food packaging, vintage photos of Disneyland, an exhaustive catalog of themed kids' parks (you've got to check these out) and other pop culture nuttery; his blog; and his art, including the aforementioned comics.

Thanks Dan! That was fun.
