The Remains of the Dame – Thatcher’s Legacy in Cartoons…
on 16th April 2013 at 2:00 pmPosted In: News and views
My first published political cartoon was on the subject of the resignation of Margaret Thatcher as Prime Minister, for my then University newspaper, the Warwick Boar, back in November 1990. Unfortunately, this cartoon has disappeared from my archives – to be honest, this is a bit of a relief, as it Wasn’t Very Good. Since then, however, I’ve drawn the Iron Lady on a number of occasions, so I thought I’d share a few of these with you.

Dr Sketchy’s Catch-up No. 1 – Gender Bender September

As promised, here’s the first of my Dr Sketchy’s updates with the event from September of last year. Billed as Gender Bender September, this was to be a rather different Dr Sketchy’s at the Victoria – or should that be the Victor Victoria.

Keen observers of my website (both of you) will have noticed I’ve not been updating this blog particularly frequently recently. This has been in part due to work being a bit busier than usual as my other venture, drawnalism (a joint project with fellow cartoonist Matt ‘Hack’ Buck), goes from strength to strength; partly due to my recent wedding to the lovely Maria (read all about her new business over at mazzawoo.com); but mostly due me being a bit feckless. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
For once, a bit of non-cartooning news… this coming Saturday 3rd November (tomorrow!), I will be marrying my lovely fiancée Maria Harvey in Kidderminster, which we’ll be celebrating with family and friends on the Severn Valley Railway. In keeping with the steamy nature of the vintage railway, the theme is that of Steampunk. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
It was High Noon (well, actually, it was after 3pm, but who’s counting) when I swaggered back to the Saloon Bar of the Victoria (well, the upstairs function room) in July for the latest Dr. Sketchy’s Birmingham. The theme this time was Wild Wild West, and they didn’t disappoint, with a whole posse ready to perform and pose for our doodling delight. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
