He became a professional cartoonist the year Margaret Thatcher plopped Britain in her handbag. For some reason, he matured into a political cartoonist and travel writer, with regular slots in newspapers and magazines in Europe, Australia, Africa and (occasionally) America. His latest book and first graphic novel (<i>Depresso or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Embrace Being Bonkers</i>) was shortlisted for the UK MIND Book of the Year Award. He lives in the East Midlands of England with his partner and a Border Collie who would prefer to live in Scotland.</p> <p><br/></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><b>Author's Website: </b>www.brickbats.co.uk</p> </body> </html>
