Thomas Mitchell: TalkSport's newest (temporary) recruit

I rarely blog photo's here but I'm making an exception for my son Tom. He's just completed a week's work experience, working as a researcher, on Colin Murray & Friends at TalkSport. Everyone there was wonderful with Tom, especially Colin (pictured above with Tom), and he had the time of his life. It's added immeasurably to his determination to work in sports media, as a football commentator. 
Next season he begins an apprenticeship, at Sutton United, as a junior Media Officer/Commentator...the first rung on the ladder to his dreams.

Thanks again to all at TalkSport (Kathryn, James and Colin) who made this wonderful week possible, and a young man's dream come true; I couldn't be prouder.

NUFC Scene's we'd like to see!

As a response to the terrible NUFC performance yesterday I'm posting this old cartoon from the last time I called for Ashley's head! The more things change the more they stay the same!!

ASHLEY OUT!!!

Gen X. Pencil rough...work in progress

Here's my take on a solution to Armando Iannucci's Twitter call to young voters, to engage in this year's general election. Who knows...it might work?

SyFy: Imagine Greater

Here are some images I created recently for the SyFy channel as part of their "Imagine Greater" project. They invited people on Twitter to submit shots of themselves with their favorite SyFy character attached, I then drew them as that character.

The project ran for 3 days and, while exhausting as I was drawing "Live" as it were, was a big success for the channel...and for me personally. They also asked me to "Imagine" some celebrities as characters just for fun...and here they are.

My favorite is Cheryl in the ROTJ gold bikini...for obvious reasons.

Je Suis Spartacus

My response to the atrocities in Paris? One of my favourite lines from one of my favourite films!

Je Suis Charlie!

Metatainment!

By way of celebrating the creation of "Cartoonists Corner", and as an experiment into "Meta-Tooning" (cartoons of people viewing cartoons of themselves and criticising them...in...erm... cartoons?) here is my latest take on Mark and Simon...and their excellent show, comprising of one giant bicker interspersed with the odd film review.

I couldn't be prouder to be a part of this great church, 10 more years!!!

Excelsior Out!!

Merry Christmas guys, God bless us every one!!

They've been there for you!

This year marks the 20th anniversary of my daughters favourite show..."Friends". To mark that august occasion, and as a present for Grace, I have created the above illustration.

Although subject to endless repeats the show has lost non of it's appeal due, in no small part, to the quality and consistency of both writing and performance. It's the kind of show you wish you lived in: no real problems, idyllic lifestyle shared with a group of cool, caring & funny people...who happen to be your best friends.

They say you should never go back but, you know what, maybe a return trip to The Perk is what we all need right now...just a thought.

Excelsior Out!
