Writing has always been equal a passion as drawing and I have written many short stories, poems, scripts, lyrics and various comical essays.
The advantage of being a cartoonist as well, is that you can combine the two to great effect.
Here’s a short story which was published in More Tonto Short Stories last year.
Slapstick and Tickle

With my friend and colleague Terry Christien I am hoping to launch a regular Cartoon Festival in London. Not much to sat about it at the moment except that it is going to be at The British Library in July 2009, depending on whether we get sponsorship.
The delightful Artfinder from Liverpool, Lydia Bates, has thrown [...]

The difference between caricatures drawn from photos and those drawn on-the-spot at parties is often quite stark. A caricaturist can appear to have a split personality because the styles are so far apart.

During the gloom-laden month of January those of us with seasonally-affected businesses often wonder why they have chosen their path.
To the one person business dependent on all of his wits and imagination to pull in enough money to pay the bills, hordes of commuters streaming across Waterloo Bridge to work in other people’s businesses for [...]

It’s that time of year when all of us caricaturists take stock and work on new promotional material.
With less work around and other businesses slowly getting their marketing campaigns and budgets organised, this is the ideal time for The London Caricaturist to send out a new mailshot.

My website is undergoing a complete re-design by Victor Taylor.
At the moment, it looks a little scrappy, as I did it myself a little over a year ago. But as Victor is about to step in and soup it up, I have had the courage to tinker with the front page a little, safe [...]
