Gallery & Head Spaghetti
Welcome my head spaghetti – a jumble of commissions from clients and and ideas which spill onto paper.
You can commission your own illustration - scroll down for inspiration. Your commission doesn't even need a basis in reality! I can draw your ideas, humour or memories in a unique illustration or cartoon.
Contact me and I'll give you a quote.
Otherwise, please browse in the hope you may at least crack a smile.

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 encyclopaedic knowledge of movies. He loves his morning coffee, decent wine, he 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, dining out, cycling, and walking the streets of South London. The activities are matched to a quote from a film.
Neat, even if I say so myself.
If you're stuck for ideas, talk to me. With a little digging, a little information about someone can turn it into a one-of-a-kind cartoon.
