New! Cartoon Poem Section!

Yes, that’s right. In the navigation bar across the top you’ll find a new section where I am going to deposit any Cartoon Poems that I manage to dredge up from the archives or create anew.
I hope you enjoy them!

Award Winning Cartoonist wins Again!

It’s only a small thing really, but my genius (which is only a small thing really) has been recognised once again.
This wonderful Ning-based site awards monthly prizes for works of writing, art and cartoons. They decided that this little cartoon of mine was worthy of a £25.00 prize!

When I drew it several years ago, I [...]

Rude Cartoons!

The following cartoons illustrate a FILTHY comic poem I used to perform (with the cartoons on a flipchart) around the Clubs in London.
Can you work out the story by looking at the cartoons?

Anyone who’s curious to see the original MIND-NUMBINGLY DEPRAVED and disgusting poem, just PM me and I’ll point you in the right direction!

The Group Caricature Continued – Drawing Faces!

Once all the photos have been correctly labelled and collated, the first thing I want from a client is agreement that the caricatures are accurate likenesses of each person in the group caricature.
Working on A4 sheets folded in half, I draw rough pencilled versions of each face in the A5 areas.

These are then scanned in [...]

The First Stage of Drawing a Group Caricature

The client contacts me and eventually sends me what seems to be hundreds of photos of all the people involved in the caricature.
I like to streamline the process, so rather than print out each photo individually, I use Photoshop to crop them all down to the margins of the face and lay them all out [...]

How To Draw a Complicated Group Caricature

Coming soon. A step-by-step guide showing you precisely how I take the details and photos of twenty-one people (for this particular job) and turn it into a complete caricature composition.
Do come back and leave your comments.
Happy Easter!

Fifty Four People Needed

I need 54 more people to visit this blog to reach the landmark 5,000 hits!
I would give a prize to the 5,000th visitor but have no idea how to monitor this accurately!

The Cartoonist Reads and is Disappointed by The Celestine Prophecy

James Redfield’s blockbusting best seller from 1994, The Celestine Prophecy, recently found its way to me and I read it with initial great interest which evaporated half way through. But I decided to see it through to the end.
A complete review of an old book which many of you may have already read would be [...]

Cartoons For Presentations

I have recently been working on a series of cartoons for Marketing Mentor, Nigel Temple, to illustrate his talk about how to make customers come to you.
These are fun to do as I am simply given the title of the section and allowed to to interpret it as I wish.
Here are the cartoons I came [...]

Recent Commission for London Caricaturist

This was another  caricature commission from the wonderful Dr George Sik whom I wrote about in an earlier post.

He just sends me the photos and detailed description about what he wants and I draw the caricature and post it back to him. I don’t have to understand intrinsically what is going on. It looks like [...]
