Stuck for gift ideas?
If you’re looking for a special present, I can offer various options:
- A signed, limited-edition print of one of my existing cartoons* (with an optional dedication on it). This can be either framed or unframed;
- The original drawing of a cartoon from my catalogue*; or
- A signed print, or the original drawing, of a new cartoon drawn on a theme that you suggest. By the way, if you don’t like what I come up with, you are under no obligation to go ahead with a purchase.
* For options 1 and 2 I can help you find a suitable drawing if you let me know what sort of theme you’re interested in. I have well over 2,000 to choose from.
