Yet another Blast From My Past!: WALLACE & GROMIT.

Some 18 years or more, I had the joy of working on the WALLACE and GROMIT daily cartoon strip which appeared in the THE SUN national UK publication. This continued for three and a half years, with the added pleasure of working with fellow artists, BAMBOS GEORGIOU, JOHN BURNS and JIMMY HANSEN. I've taken the liberty of posting some of my original pencils, plus a number of the finished cartoon strips for your entertainment.

CHARLIE the Dog Detective.

Way back in the 1980s, I had the pleasure of not only meeting writer, ANDREW WOODING, who during the fellowing years would become an old friend, but apart from working together for many years on a Beano style kids comic entitled, PLUS, we equally had the fun in producing three books based on Wooders (as I've always called him) creation, CHARLIE THE DOG DETECTIVE. These can still be obtained, proving a good children's read.

Adventures of RATTUS HOLMES.

A few years ago, I had the pleasure of working yet again with friend and publisher, Ed Chatelier, of The Edge Group, in producing a series of three books based on the RATTUS HOLMES character. House pet to the famous, Sherlock Holmes, the books followed his wild adventures. What really pleased me was that all three books were connected to UNESCO and WaterAid.

Yet another Blast From The Past!: DUCKULA.

Duckula was and always will be a fun time of my 50 year involvement in the comic and cartoon industry. Having enjoyed producing artwork for the Duckula comic, I must admit to having equal fun for a brief time in producing storyboard artwork for the Duckula Tv series, Cosgrove Hall Productions. Therefore, I've gathered together a number of storyboard pics for your enjoyment. Wishing you my best.

CATS! Can't live with them, can't live without them!

Way back in April 1979, I managed to get my first break at producing daily cartoon strips, this was with the Bradford Telegraph and Argus provincial newspaper where I produced the MATT cartoon strip, this running for six years, later to appear in yet another provincial newspaper, The Manchester Evening News. It was November 1984 when the characters of Matt and Humph the Cat would appear in Transformers Comic from Marvel UK. This was a fun time as it allowed me to both create and take them in a brand new direction. Some years later, I had the pleasure of working with fellow artist, Jesus Barony in producing a new Humph the Cat strip, appearing in award winning digital comic, ACES WEEKLY, vol: 17 and 18. Looking back to those years, I've taken the liberty of posting a selection of pics relating to that time, hoping that you'll enjoy them as much as I did producing them. In closing, I've included a couple of pics of the original Humph that the cartoon was based on.
