About me
Born and brought up in Liverpool (and no I never met THE BEATLES) I'm now lucky enough to live in Hebden Bridge West Yorkshire recently voted the fourth funkiest place on the planet by British Airways magazine,and they must know! I used to be a social worker but have been a full time cartoonist for the last ten years I mainly do strip cartoons for a wide variety of magazines but I also do cards, books and promotional cartoons. I'm very happily married and have three kids and a dog. katie , my eldest is a dancer and full time teenager, she is very lovely but tells me to shut up a lot. Rosie is 11 and very powerful personality, she never needs to tell me to shut up as I'm always careful to ask permission to talk in her presence for fear of embarrassing her. Matthew is 9 and still believes in Daleks, we have a lot of fun together

Hobbies
I do a fair amount of physical stuff, running, weight training and gorging on to much food and wine. I accompany the dog on numerous walks where she eats grass and sniffs other canines bottoms. Lynette and I spend inordinate amounts of time chatting which pretty much gets in the way of my achieving my goals in life
