Hi, I’m Alex Hughes, and I’ve been a freelance cartoonist, caricaturist and illustrator since 1995. I used to draw a regular weekly political cartoon for Tribune, and I’ve drawn for the BBC, the Big Issue, Red Pepper, the Daily Telegraph, and many more, although these days I focus my activities on graphic recording for Drawnalism.
Personally, I was born in Solihull and have lived in the Birmingham area all my life. I wrote a book – ‘Learn to Draw Caricatures’, which is currently out of print, but can still be bought online. Although I do have a degree in Applied Mathematics from the University of Warwick, I also studied for a Master of Arts in Visual Communications at the University of Central England in Birmingham (now Birmingham City University).
