Where do you get your ideas from?

What if...? That's how it starts.


I've been drawing cartoons for more years than I care to think about and the one question that people always ask is 'Where do you get your ideas from?'. I don't start out trying to visualise a picture, or to come up with a funny line. First, I see a situation. Then I think 'what if...?'.


Cartoons allow you to have great 'what if' moments. They open up a world of possibilities. 'What if an elephant was sitting in the corner of the room?', 'What if everyone in this meeting was a super-villain?', 'What if...?'.

It means I can create unexpected, memorable images that quickly convey the message you need to get across.


As a trained graphic designer and business owner for many years, I understand branding and the challenges you face in reaching your audience. My aim is to add something a bit diļ¬€erent, something that will really get you noticed.


So, if you see me in a meeting with a far-away look in my eye, then I'm probably thinking 'what if...?'.
