Andy Parsons caricature


This is a quick caricature of the comedian Andy Parsons. What I'm trying to do with these caricatures is to keep the freshness of the drawing by not doing any pre-drawing i.e. using pencil etc. So I only get one go at it otherwise I try again. I think this one worked...

Henley Royal Regatta cartoon




I sold this cartoon at an exhibition held at the Henley Royal Regatta shop and they've now turned it into a greetings card. It is now on sale at the Henley Royal Regatta shop at a very competitive price of £2.50. Worth every penny I'd say especially as the proceeds go to the Steward's Charitable Trust which go around the country encouraging young people to row i.e. row as in 'row a boat' as opposed to getting angry with someone and having a row! (many thanks to Royston Robertson for pointing out to me where the proceeds of the card sales go to!). They also asked me to produce a cartoon for the Regatta official programme as well, so there!

Kate Humble



This is a caricature I drew of Kate Humble over the Easter break. Not sure that I warm particularly to this lady as I've not been impressed with the various programmes I've seen her on. I'm sure she'd be devastated to hear me talk about her like this.....

Ronnie Corbett



This is a recent caricature of the comedian Ronnie Corbett. I was going to use some reference images of him with a sadder looking face but the big smile won through in the end!

Holiday work



I've just returned from a week's holiday where I'd spent time drawing people I wanted to draw for a change! This is a caricature of a certain General Mario Mendez who was the Military Govenor during the Argentine occupation of the Falklands. It was taken from a photograph in a magazine where he was talking about the situation he found himself in back then and there seemed to be a lot of sorrow in his face.



This is a drawing of two members of Snow Patrol - vocalist Gary Lightbody and bassist Paul Wilson. This again was taken from an article where they were discussing why Lightbody didn't have a girlfriend. Can't understand it myself...

Russell Tovey



A caricature of the actor Russell Turvey when he played the part of the werewolf in the television series Being There. Of course, if it was a caricature of him being a werewolf, something odd would have happened to his snout and eyes but then it wouldn't have looked like him would it? This is a typical dilemma of being a caricaturist.....
