Give me a pencil, either digital or conventional, and I'm a happy man.

About

about Me.

I’ve been creating cartoons and drawing characters from all walks for over 35 years now, well… since I wriggled free of my nappy and found a crayon actually (although I probably ate half of it!).
I still relish the challenge of capturing those little qualities that make us all so individual, and I still get such a buzz from seeing a happy face enjoying the result of my labours.

Cheers
Eric
