I'm new here so there's not much going on yet. Bear with me; it'll fill up soon. Promise. No... don't leave yet!

At the moment I work as a concept artist at UK MGS game developer Rare, but I also do some freelance illo work. I used to work in magazine design and have illustrated loads of mag covers over the years. I'm more known for the, currently in vogue, 'manga/anime' style but I like to think of myself as just a cartoonist. As my Mum used to say "you only draw stupid stuff!" (she said it nicely). I quite like the fact that I've made a living drawing 'stupid stuff'.

I've spent all my career actually working so I'm only just getting around to my own site and all that 'net' stuff. I do run a little shop that takes up some of my copious spare time (yeah, right) at http://www.dinkybox.com. That has some illo and design work by moi so I guess that's a start.

Oh, an update!
I've now got a blog up and running at

More comics news soon.

Hope you don't mind me asking, but did you work on a Nintendo magazine in the past ...? Or is it my mind playing tricks?
Love your style, by the way :)

Yes, in my distant-ish past (the 90s) when I was a mag designer I did the covers to the UK Super Nintendo title - Super Play and a a fair few for its successor - N64. Your past always comes back to haunt you :) Just don't go as far back as Anime UK!

BTW - I just checked your comic pages - very nice!
