This month's theme for the Cartoonists' Club of Great Britain magazine The Jester is cats and dogs. Here's my cartoon.

You can find out more about the club by visiting the CCGB website.

Currencies.co.uk are sponsoring the first Prog Rock Awards, to be held at Kew Gardens, so as part of the promotional effort I was asked to create a new Currency Hound cartoon with the Hound digging up an award as a gardener.

These cartoon illustrations are a lot of fun to do and have been so from the initial cartoon character design, while the continuing advertising campaign using the Currency Hound helps to build brand awareness and recognition for Currencies.co.uk.

The latest character Allergy Kids asked me to design was certainly a tricky one. The alert wristbands for children to wear are primarily for allergies but also cover other conditions so adults can be aware of that child's needs, which can be essential if the child is not able to communicate them. Usually the condition suggests the character easily (dairy allergy = cheese, hayfever = inhaler) but this one wasn't so straightforward.

One of the commonly used visuals for autism turns out to be jigsaws with coloured pieces, so naturally our character had to be a jigsaw piece, himself made up of further pieces.

Look out for him soon on the Allergy Kids website.
