Some Purely Textual Excitement: Me and Emma Thompson

The ghost of Emma Thompson came back to haunt me the other week. And she’s not even dead. She used to go to a school in the same neighbourhood as mine (Camden/Hampstead, London) and from the ages of 15 and 16 onwards we would turn up at the same parties. While I went out with [...]

The End of Term Party

Thursday 20th December: After my last live job of the year in the afternoon, I met up with a few friends at The French House in Soho. This was a semi-official ‘End of term Party’. For me, anyway. Eager Beavers like Paul Baker were still working right up to Saturday 22nd and Guy Carter was [...]

One of The Last Jobs of December

Wednesday 19th December: The penultimate corporate caricaturing job of this year was for the Brands Protection Department of Diageo Plc.

The Spice Girls and Tom Cruise

In between all the ‘real work’ (ie: paid for) I have been pursuing the interesting project of The David Beckham Diaries (in construction) in conjunction with Bluestock Printing. The latest cartoon (drawn quite quickly, it must be said) illustrates the time David Beckham desperately tried to get some Spice Girl tickets for his friend Tom [...]

Latest Photos of The London Caricaturist in Action!

Phew! It’s been a busy week for the London Caricaturist. Tuesday was spent entertaining the wonderful bright young things of new satirical website, Eyebrow, where I duly overturned a table laden with nachos and beer, in the true tradition of satire and anarchy. It went down well in more ways than one. Wednesday’s event has [...]

The London Caricaturist goes through roof at PatSystems Party!

Yesterday’s job was at The Borough Bar in London’s London Bridge for market trading software manufacturer PatSystems. This job was brought to me by the wonderful Clyde West of comedy agency Stand and Deliver. Not only did I produce 25-odd caricatures in two hours, but I met the brilliant musical comedian Brian Damage (the good [...]
