User Tags: comic strip artist, comic strip writer, illustrator

Creator of Derek the Sheep for the Beano (with the first 13 stories being collected into bookform next year by the publishers Bloomsbury and into French by Actes Sud in November). I also drew the fortnightly comic strip for the "Magical World Of Roald Dahl" magazine and work four days a week for Eaglemoss Publications as an in-house illustrator on magazines such as Horrible Histories, Horrible Science, Dog Magazine and God knows what else.

I have been self-publishing mini-comics sporadically since 1999, including the titles "Great!", "Stupidmonsters", "Bad Dog", "Cecil the Nice Wasp" and "Bernard Cribbin's rousing Tales of High Adventure" with Matt Abbiss.

Currently I quite like drawing ducks and bees, especially if they have beards and/or smoke fags.

Hi there, started putting stuff up- it's quite easy really. I've also treated myself to a big stapler...

Thanks for the add! As I've said before-- absolutely lovely work.
There must be something capturing about animals with beards and cigs... A couple weeks ago I drew some various bearded fish smoking cigs... how odd.
Looking forward to seeing more of your work!

The sample art looks great! I'd like to see more!

Hooray! A bar! Cheers Douglas. I'm getting behind on my deadlines as always, but otherwise I'm doing fine. Hope things are groovy for you.
