moondog loves you... because somebody has to

About Me


I'm a happy and creative animated character with loads of interests. I love making things and watching old movies... i love making people smile and going to gigs. I really enjoy my own company but you can have too much of a good thing and there's loads of things which aren't so much fun on your own...
I'm honest, positive, optimistic, energetic, romantic, fun, silly, talkative, artistic, enthusiastic, confident, reliable, emotional, vegetarian, outgoing, literate, open-minded, intelligent, independent, loyal, passionate, a little bit naughty and ever so modest.... if you'll let me I promise to try to be the best friend you could ever have...
I'm the founder of the accidental cult of "moondog loves you", leaving small pieces of cardboard art around the world. Emails I get sent from people who find them go onto my site along with my cartoons and links.
I am also part of the HungaMunga posse who organise arty parties championing new music and arts and crafts, with live bands, DJs, gameshows, performance, prizes, projections, inflatables and of course scones... HUNGAMUNGA is at Bethnal Green Working Men's Club every month with loads of painting and making stuff... imagine a kind of "Later... with Rolf Harris"
check myspace for details of our next event...
MAKE STUFF, MAKE FRIENDS, MAKE A MESS!!!
Our next event is our 2nd Birthday party on the 11th of May at Bethnal Green Working Men's Club
If you want to join my club I'll send you a load of tags for you to put in cool places to spread the love... All the info is on my site: www.moondoglovesyou.com
