Christmas Card for 2023


Wearing his favourite bobble hat and scarf, this cute kitty is on his way to a party, trampling through a wintry day under a gentle sky filled with delightful snowflakes.

Oyez, oyez, read all about it...

I'm a pen and ink illustrator. I trained as an actor, trod the boards for several years, mostly playing comedic roles in classics and new writing, then a commission story boarding Cadbury's commercials came my way and lead me to becoming a cartoonist for Times Educational Supplement working on a troubleshooting leadership page written by Libby Purves Commissions followed in the Museums and Heritage sector, an area of work that excites and inspires. Drawing, for me, is akin to being an actor, only this time rather than treading the boards I use a drawing board and a dip pen.  I'm an old luvvie at heart transposing the pathos of life through the medium of pen and ink, hopefully breathing a heart beat into the line work too. A line with a pulse makes my heart sing. I bloody love drawing.  Currently working on a commission for English Heritage, I'm also getting my teeth stuck into 3d, making an Irish Wolfhound head piece for a Celtic ceremony and continue with an ongoing personal project (now in its 8th year) writing illustrated letters, a prosaic beat that hums in the background of everything I do. 



Three Wise Men.

 The Three Wise Men feature in my Christmas card design for 2022.
