About the Artist, Pashur
Pashur, grew up in the Music City - Nashville, TN – with no musical talent. Instead, he had a crazy amount of passion for art. He cut out his favorite comic strips from the daily newspapers and begged his dad to take him to a five and dime store to buy a crazy amount of comic books. It took a crazy amount of begging. While in high school he drew a crazy amount of caricatures at the local theme park becoming their top artist. All his money went to a crazy amount of art supplies while he studied graphic design and illustration at Memphis College of Art, thus he ate a crazy amount of ramen noodles. After graduating he served as art director of a planetarium for two years while doing a crazy amount of freelance illustration work. Taking his art in a crazy new direction, Pashur began body painting as an art form, becoming a pioneer in the modern body painting arts movement. He ended up in Las Vegas for two years, until he found the road leading out of Vegas. Those were crazy times. He ended up in the Burbank area if Los Angeles, California where he has digitally reinvented his illustration style. He creates a crazy amount of art on any subject that he considers fun (80s animation, toy and retro arcade nostalgia, sci-fi, gum wrappers, cryptids, bugs and spooky stuff to name just a few). Oh, and he has won a crazy amount of awards, and been twice nominated by the National Cartoonists Society for Advertising and Product Illustration. Pashur has a crazy warped sense of humor... he drops potty jokes daily. His wife says "the jokes are getting old", while laughing hysterically. They have two crazy cats - Rupert and Remington.

FAQs
How did you come up with the concept for Turd?
My warped potty humor came at a very early age. However, the initial Turd concept started when someone left a turd in a bathtub at a party I was at in Nashville, TN in the late 90's. I never saw said turd... though my friends and I made numerous jokes about the turd and the "mystery" of how it ended up in the tub. The next day I drew a sketch of a cartoon turd and it stayed in my pile of sketches for about fifteen years before I started actually fine tuning the Turd comic concept.
