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!!!

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.

Wittertainment: Cartoonist's Corner now has a LOGO!!

Having been recently inducted into the BBC's "Wittertainment: Cartoonists Corner", along with  @MartinRowson @bobscartoons @roystoncartoons @Schism_Schasm and Daniel Postgate (son of Oliver)
I felt compelled to create a LOGO to mark the occasion...so I did!

Lest we forget

It's been a while since I nailed my colours to the mast so, while my beloved Newcastle United tears itself apart as the chronic disconnect between fans and club grows ever wider, I feel it's worth remembering what footballing god Sir Bobby Robson said, of football clubs in general, all those years ago.

Lest we forget.
