I'm going to use this blog to post up samples of my work as I do them including explaining the process from initial idea to the finished art.

Match of the Day 300
Last week Match of the Day, the football magazine marked its 300th issue.
I've been contributing a caricature comic strip every week for most of that run. The guys on the mag (mainly Ed Beeryman) write the script and I illustrate it. Even though I'm not a footy fan I enjoy this weekly challenge as there are always new victims for my caricaturing skills such as they are.
I hope it carries on as it's a fun and regular job!

Match of the Day comic strips
I've been drawing a weekly comic strip for the BBC magazine Match of the Day for several years now.
There are advantages and disadvantages with doing a regular weekly spot somewhere. What I like about it is that it's a regular income which in these lean times is great and this particular strip involves drawing lots of different caricatures every week. I love that. The disadvantage is that because this strip is topical and about what's happening in British football at the time, it means that I can't draw a few weeks ahead in order to have a nice long holiday. So- pros and cons but it's great to have a little bit of security in the increasingly difficult world of illustration. Here are a few recent examples. There are no words cos the balloons are put on by the staff at the mag.
