When I first started out as a cartoonist and illustrator, Margaret Thatcher was still PM. Much of my work since 1990 has been for the independent football magazine When Saturday Comes – as well as editorial illos and cartoons I’ve done info graphics, web icons, animations and lots of spoof adverts.I’ve done illustrations and cartoons for The Guardian, The Observer, The Daily Express, Penguin, Harper Collins, Random House, IPC magazines, Bloomsbury and lots of other publishers.Since 1998 I’ve also been writing what I’d describe as non-fiction travel/memoir type books, which are packed with my illustrations, sketches and hand drawn maps. The examples shown here are from the e-book version of my memoir of East Midlands early 80s teenage life, Small Town England (Ebury Press). During the summer months, I have a parallel career as a football arm tattooist.When not illustrating or writing I am usually painting, hanging out with my kids or tramping the byways of North London looking for nice sticks.(Apologies for this lump of text – it doesn’t seem possible to do line breaks)
