That one, humourless git at the event who hates the caricature I did of them, and then huffily shows it to everyone all offended and tries to kill my buzz.... 😳

Sad to hear the news about actor Jimmy Martin who passed away today at the age of 93. Best known as 'Auld Eric' from Still Game.
I never met him, but by all reports he was a lovely man. He bought our cards from Pure Minted featuring his Eric caricature which he would sign and give to Still Game fans.

Rest in peace Jimmy and thanks for the laughs and memories.

A ten second speedy sketch of Billy Connolly!

Here's a 60th birthday gift caricature I did for a Paul Weller / Jam fan. It was fun to do and incorporate a few song titles on to the signpost! Weller's written some belters over the years!

I always like doing 'smiley' caricatures, but was told that this chap wasn't much of a 'smiler'; and there wasn't any smiley reference pics for me to work from. So I had to improvise a bit, and make him look like a stylish, cool, ageing mod....like 'The Mod Father' himself! 🎸

Pleased to report that the client and recipient loved it.

WOOP! 🎉🥳🎉🥳

I’m feeling the love and I’m delighted to have hit five thousand followers on my instagram account! Yaaaas!!

Thank you all so much, I really appreciate it!

(Now, if you could all just lend me a tenner, that would great…!)

Thanks a mill, you big bunch of lovely smashers! Xx 😃🥰🥳

I drew Trump yesterday.

I have absolutely nothing good to say about him, other than from a caricaturist's point of view, he's fun to draw! He has a ridiculous; big mad, baggy face coupled with fake tan and bad hair which we can enjoy ripping into! 😂🤣

A friend of mine recently shared this analysis of Trump online by Nate White, which I think is absolutely spot on, so I've copied it here...

Someone asked "Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?"

Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England, wrote this magnificent response:

"A few things spring to mind.

Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem.

For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace - all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed.

So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.

Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing - not once, ever.

I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility - for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman.

But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is - his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.

Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers.

And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults - he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.

There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface.

Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront.

Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul.

And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist.

Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that.

He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat.

He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.

And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully.

That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead.

There are unspoken rules to this stuff - the Queensberry rules of basic decency - and he breaks them all. He punches downwards - which a gentleman should, would, could never do - and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless - and he kicks them when they are down.

So the fact that a significant minority - perhaps a third - of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think 'Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:
* Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are.
* You don't need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.

This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss.

After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of s**t. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum.

God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid.

He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart.

In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws - he would make a Trump.

And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish:

'My God… what… have… I… created?

If being a t**t was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set."

Totally blown away by what Kanye and his missus Rose West were wearing at The Grammys yesterday! What a total surprise! 😲

As you know, we live in a fast moving world of 'fake news' and you can't believe everything you see and read online.

I know that there are 'other' images being posted on the internet about what they were (or weren't) wearing at the awards, but you can take it from me folks; as you can see, this is the real deal! 💯

I'm really NOT a Kanye fan to be honest, and I'm surprised that I'm even on his radar! That said, I did do a wedding fair the other week at Loch Lomond, so that's probably raised my profile massively amongst the biggest stars in the world. Word is getting around that they should definitely book me for their weddings, parties and corporate events!

She must've been bloody baltic though eh? Especially at this time of year! Get a cardie on love, it's freezing out there!

Here's a bunch of pics from a fun few days drawing for West College Scotland at their various campuses!

Thanks so much to everyone who made me feel really welcome and gave me lovely comments about my silly sketches! Much appreciated 🥰

Big thanks to the staff team who hired me. It was a pleasure to draw for you and I'd love to do it all again sometime!

It was also great to meet Lauren from The Laurettes who was providing some fab music at the events this week as well. Man, what a talent she has! I really enjoyed listening to her sing and play guitar. You should definitely check out The Laurettes and give them a follow! 👍

Really enjoyed my first live caricature gigs of 2025! It's good to be back in the saddle and I'm looking forward to seeing what the rest of this year brings! 😃

December was such a busy month for me, I never got around to sharing any live caricature pics from the Festive Markets I did at Glasgow Clyde Colleges!

These events are always great fun and I always look forward to drawing at them. Here's a bunch of my favourite sketches from my time there last year...

If you're planning a special event this year, why not enliven the occasion by hiring me to come and draw your guests! Big laughs guaranteed! 😄👨‍🎨

Well folks, I'm as shocked; surprised, aghast and agog as you are...! Some people think I should be happy for the 'artistic exposure', but this tango faced, megalomaniac, racist roaster can do one! No way will I be drawing at any of his events!

I've just blocked him from my page as well, so take that Donald! Yeah!! ✊️😄
