About Me:

I'm a political cartoonist and children’s book illustrator from Strabane, Co. Tyrone, Northern Ireland.
After graduating from the University of Ulster in 1990 I spent the next fifteen years in Belfast carving out a career until I returned to Strabane in 2005. I'm currently the resident political cartoonist for The Irish Herald, San Francisco, USA but over the years my work has been published by Slugger O'Toole, The Pensive Quill, The Irish Gazette (USA), Irish Sunday Mirror, The Blanket (proud to be a Blanketeer by the way!), Londonderry Sentinel, Sunday Journal, Daily Ireland, Citizen Magazine, Fortnight magazine, and Channel 4. Recently I had my first book 'Warts and All - Ten years of the Good Friday Agreement' published by Appletree Press and I'm currently working on 'Warts and All 2' which will be out in 2010.
