Welcome to my website
Please have a look around - the latest post from my blog is below and you can access older posts, links to my friends, buy some of my artwork or contact me by clicking on the links to the left.
I have chosen stuff for the portfolio on the basis of raising a smile or some sort of Proustian style nostalgia. I shall add to the collection after a second trawl through the archive. If there is anything that is unclear or puzzling , then please get in touch and I shall sort out the problem.
The comic strips from my previous website will be added soon. We are currently working on a format that will be easy for the viewer, rather than putting up what is ,in effect a printed page. Thanks for your patience on this.
I am also working on a couple of new ones which I want to put up in the Spring.
All the best and enjoy a browse.

The Great Stink of 2009.
Bon Jovi,
Who would have thought it, journalists taking politicians to task over expenses claims . We live in interesting and ironic times indeed, my friends. But seriously,....naaaah! I remember vaguely, it was Lord Macauley ( I think and I paraphrase here) who wrote that there are fewer things funnier than the sight of the British public in one of its periodic fits of moral indignation. And here we are again! Okay ,phantom mortgages are naughty but much, like it or not, was within the letter if not the spirit of the rules created by the MPs themselves. DOH! Not good , I accept and you may say it brings Parliament into disrepute; that really would be a step up! They will face the electoral court next year anyway and I predict a massacre. We all get our comeuppance. Now being world –weary and cynical comes with the cartoonist's job description so all this is grist to my mill, but as a moral ( not in the above sense) being I, like Captain Willard in Apocalypse Now am a bit wary of handing out speeding tickets at the Indianapolis 500. Memo to self: Stinks, you get used to 'em eventually.
