Cartoons

Resident cartoonist Craig Powell

Much to my parents embarrassment, my drawing ability is attributed to the untold hours of waiting in pub carparks, placated with a scrapbook and 2B pencil.

This basic grounding was expanded upon at boarding school, where I discovered the power of caricature and satire. Initially, this caused great amusement, but when the humour subsided, I learnt another lesson.

When not drawing cartoons, I’m either making videos, playing Mr Handyman or looking after our two children. The latter role comes with additional title Head of Department for humorous birthday cards and videos, which I admit is rather fun. And who knows, maybe some of this creativity will rub-off on the kids, which would be preferable to the pub carpark. (Sorry Mum & Dad)
