Last weekend, I took part in the Shrewsbury International Cartoon Festival, which happens annually at, er, Shrewsbury. In amongst the general fooling about which inevitably occurs when a bunch of professional fools get together, I managed to squeeze in enough time to draw one of the ten or so ‘big boards’ on display in the town square.

The work was titled ’973 Well-dressed Gentlemen Chasing a Balloon’, and was a lot of fun to draw, though my arm was aching a bit by the end! I’m hoping to get some kind of prints done of the piece if I think there’s enough interest, so get in touch if you’d like a copy.
