I'm a pen and ink illustrator, 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 along leading me in a wiggly sort of way into the world of cartooning. Drawing, for me, is akin to being an actor, only this time rather than treading the boards I use a drawing board 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. I have an ongoing personal project, now in its 8th year, writing illustrated letters, it's a prosaic beat that hums in the background of everything I do.
