What a lovely day...


... to share a pie with Eric Pickles. The fat headed conservative MP for Brentwood and Ongar was just sitting on a wall minding his own business when he fell victim to a drive by caricaturing.

Chicken...


...Licken. 'Britains favourite satire magazine' asked me if I could put a caricature of Mervyn King onto a chickens body. I think it is to illustrate a nursery rhyme in the forthcoming issue - I am sure it will make more sense when I see it in print.

Like Father...

...Like son. James Murdoch will be making his 2nd appearance at the select committee next week no doubt to make a further "Who me Guv?" soliloquay to the assembled suits. Of course he doesn't know nuffin just like his Dad. Good timing for him as his appearance may well be over shadowed newswise by the Euro armageddon raging around our ears.

Greek...

....Roulette. When Papandreou was pledging a referendum a couple of days back this made perfect sense - but things have moved on plenty since then and now makes little sense if any. Anyway it was kinda experimental - I have a book by Peter Brookes (Times cartoonist - one of the greats) and was trying out his technique of watercolour/ink. Felt great to get an actual brush and inks out for a change as opposed to digital colour. Not really a patch on his work

Posh 'n' Becks


Pushing the boat out on this one with my first double portrait. Spent a while on Davids hair - but probably not as long as he does :-)

Heeeeeeere's...


...Danny. A card for Danny's 60th birthday. A superfit 60 year old with a minor skiing obsession. Didn't want to go too over the top caricature wise - this is a gift after all - I think I got it about right. As usual a digital 'paint' figure but this time with a photoshop background.

Speeeeeeeed...


...Demon Chris Huhne is yet another multimillionaire minister with a 'complex' personal life. Is there any other sort? Currently under the spotlight for driving ticket "issues" he will no doubt be in and out of the headlines until he gets fired at some point before the next election.
