BIOGRAPHY:

 

From 1986, I worked as a freelance cartoonist, caricaturist and illustrator. One of my first jobs on leaving art college was as a caricaturist and puppet sculptor on Central TV's Spitting Image. Since then, I have provided humorous illustrations for many book and magazine publishers around the world, advertising agencies, designers, and TV companies including:

  • Country Life
  • Punch
  • BBC
  • Channel 4
  • Tatler
  • Oxford University Press
  • The Week (Australia)
  • Comic Relief

However, I made the decision to focus my attention on portraiture in 2016 to renew my passion for creating fine art.
