Mel Barren's
Head Spaghetti & Gallery

This is my Head Spaghetti - a jumble of commissions and ideas that spill from my mind and onto paper.

​

I hope you will be inspired to commission your own illustration. It doesn't even need a basis in reality, and that is is all part of their originality. I can work a concept, funny event or memory into something totally unique.

 Contact me and we can talk through ideas for your own illustration and I'll give you a quote. 

 

Otherwise, please browse in the hope you may at least crack a smile.

A Life In Film, cartoon illustration by Mel Barren

The Anatomy Of A Cartoon

How do I go about creating a unique and individual cartoon? Take a look at this example titled [Person's Name]: A Life In Film.

​

The man in the cartoon is a documentary film producer with an encyclopedic knowledge of movies. He loves his morning coffee, decent wine, eats out a lot and cycles miles every week. He had also moved from his beloved West London to the depths of South London. 

​

So ... I've drawn him making coffee, eating and drinking, cycling and walking the streets of South London, all tied together with a quote from a film to match the activity. Neat, even if I say so myself.

​

If you're stuck for ideas, talk to me. With a little digging I take a simple concept and turn it into a one-of-a-kind cartoon.

We can work together remotely or via email and messages, or if you prefer face to face, let's meet?
I work in Oxted, Surrey and surrounding areas: Westerham, Woldingham, Sevenoaks, Warlingham, Reigate, Redhill, Caterham, Croydon & London.

In the serious world of design, cutting edge business-enhancing websites and commissioned art, I hope this site demonstrates a gentle humour and a sense of the irony and ridiculousness of Life. 

​

So, my friend - commission original art, visit my e-shop or use my digital services as a demonstration of your irreverent like-mindedness.
