Brave New World

Hopefully Sam can motivate a disperate, feckless group of entitled millionaires to actually win something while wearing an England shirt. Hopefully!

Wittermon…gotta catch 'em…both?

As a founder member of The Church of Wittertainment's "Cartoonist Corner" I've been a little remiss with my illustrations of Mark and Simon. I had planned to do another "Cruise" parody with Mark being tortured by Steven Spielberg over what Jaws is actually about, until @witterpedia_net intervened.
The suggestion was floated that I do a Pokemon caricature featuring our favourite flagship film show presenters…this image pretty much popped into my head, and here it is.


Blimey Charlie!!

A Kind of Magic

My tribute to one of the greatest, most influential, bands this country has ever produced. One of my personal favourites, they always figure, in hard rotation, on my IPod.
A wildly charismatic frontman working with musicians/writers of surpassing skill and artistry created... the majestic Queen. Purveyors of high camp and hard rock, in equal measure, for more than 20 years they reigned supreme in the music industry.
Their musical legacy? Hey…it's a kind of magic!

It's all too beautiful...

Having been re-introduced to the delights of Mod band The Small Faces (by my daughter Grace taking me to the brilliant musical "All or nothing") if felt compelled to create this illustration.
A tribute to this wonderful, underappreciated, band...done in a self conciously "retro" style; I have tried to evoke the period to properly frame the band.

Tatooine Sunset: Mark Hamill vs The Kinks

The colour version of Mark Hamill's legendary Kinks interview. Mark's obvious love for his subject matter shone through every word of both interviews…here's hoping a reunion is not far away.

Interviews with a Jedi

A piece inspired by the great Mark Hamill's interviews, in The Big Issue, with Ray & Dave Davies. Surely only a true Jedi could sit down with these two legends and come away unscathed!! This is the lifework…colour to follow.

Mick and Dave

Two old mates having a lark about for charity created something iconic…something wonderful. The original intention was to perform a duet live, across the Atlantic. When the technology prevented that, heads were scratched. Bowie suggested he and Mick go up in the Space Shuttle to sing to the world! As AWESOME as that would've been Mick pointed out that neither of them were astronauts; forgetting, of course, that Mr Bowie was Major Tom!

Five months on from David's death and still no one is quite coming to terms with it. Doesn't matter what you wear…just as long as you are there.Every guy grab a girl…everywhere around the World there'll be dancing…dancing in the street.
