I am a freelance cartoonist based in Lower Hutt, New Zealand. My qualifications include a Bachelor of Arts in English from Victoria University, in Wellington New Zealand. I also completed a Diploma of Graphic Design at Wellington Polytechnic. My career has been primarily as a graphic artist and cartoonist, working for newspapers and magazines in Australia and New Zealand. I enjoy writing ebooks and illustrating them with my own original illustrations. In addition to this, I submit my artworks to online stock agencies such as Shutterstock, 123rf, Depositphotos and others. Another interest is in creating children's cartoon puzzles, and these have been published in the UK, and many other places around the world including India, South Africa and Australia. My designs are featured on a range of internet outlets including Cafepress, Redbubble, and Greeting Card Universe. Interests include travel, cruising, snorkelling, tennis, bushwalking and computers.
