Here it is folks, as promised, One Direction : The Caricature. Hope you like it!

Co-Credit for the design goes to my daughter Grace, who suggested the "signature outfit" theme.

Happy 50th Doc!!!


Ladies and gents, I give you my humble tribute to one of the greatest, most influential and inventive television programmes of all TIME (see what I did there?), BBC's "Doctor Who".
In Peter Capaldi they have a genius actor, of scope and style, who will, believe you me, take us all out of a whole new door!

Excelsior Out!

1Direction...the caricature. Gulp! It's a pencil rough of work in progress

This is an image created for my daughter, to try and counter her assertions that I only caricature "Old People". She's a "Directioner", I believe the fans are called, and has tickets for next year's gig.

I know how passionate the fans are and so post this with some trepidation. Like I say, it's a work in progress so go easy on me.

Go 1D!!!

Excelsior out!

Go completely "MOTTY" for the day!

Here's a logo I designed for the great Barry Swain, football commentator extraordinaire! My son Thomas has a burning ambition to work as a commentator when he graduates, and Barry helped him take his first step. Thomas had a day at Barry's "Football Commentary Workshop" and loved it. 

Barry, ably assisted by Karl Bates (caricature to follow soon) also an experienced commentator, organises a live commentary day at which people can commentate on a series of live 5-a-side matches played out over "The Commentators Cup" competition.

Tom found the whole experience exhilarating and inspiring. Indeed, it has given him so much confidence that he (and his friend David) will be providing the "Fan Commentary" for this Saturday's home game at Sutton United.

I drew this caricature of Barry as a thank you for the day and, he liked it so much, it is now a part of his website (see link below), along with a banner linking to this very site.

It's a great day and I urge all those with an interest in Football Commentary to sign up forthwith.

Excelsior Out!
