I recently drew a combination of caricatures and other illustrations of Blake's 7 characters for the 'Star One Compendium', a collection of fanzine articles about the 70s/80s TV series. The caricatures were probably marginally easier to do as there were so many grotesques in the guest cast - see below. The b/w picture features the recurring villain Travis and my attempt to make the spaceships look a tad more dynamic than they did on screen.

Having ploughed through a load of episodes of 'The Prisoner' recently, I've started on a set of cartoons which may or may not see the light of day in a certain Prisoner-based publication later this year. All are digital caricatures drawn on the Wacom tablet.
First off is Number 2, alias Leo McKern from 'Once Upon A Time'. Altogether now: Jack and Jill went up the hill...

And here are two larger-than-life characters from 'Living in Harmony', Kathy (Valerie French) and The Kid (Alexis Kanner) -

I thought it was about time I uploaded a few more caricatures… so here we are. This group are all Star Trek related, a mix of regular and one-off characters and all drawn digitally. Firstly, the most well-known.
Then the weirdest (Charles Napier from 'The Way to Eden): Yay, brother.
Chekov/ Walter Koenig:
Yeoman Colt from the first pilot episode:
And finally the maddest of the lot, Van Gelder himself from 'Dagger of the Mind':

Greetings, Earthlings. I've started this blog in an attempt to collect and display my caricatures under one roof and advertise my availability for future commissions. Please feel free to have a look around and get in touch if you're interested in prints or a private commission - friends, family or famous faces, all subjects are covered. The weirder, the better!
The first couple of cartoons are football-related and in no particular order - Arsene Wenger and Jurgen Klopp. Both are digital caricatures.
