Artist Bio

I am a freelance cartoonist and Flash animator. I began working as a cartoonist in 1996, drawing spot gags, comic strips and illustrations for newspapers and magazines as well as several series of greetings cards. I currently draw a weekly topical joke in London's Jewish News. In 2000 I began creating animations, both for clients and for my own projects. My work appeared on the Paramount Comedy TV channel and before long Techno Designs IP in Holland – one of only a handful of companies licensed by Microsoft to create Flash animated content for Messenger (winks, DDPs, emoticons) asked me to design content for them. I created over 150 animations for them which are being sold and distributed in around 20 countries. In 2006, I also began designing Flash animated eCards. As well as animating these, I have often scripted them, created and performed musical backing and in many cases provided the character voices and narration. I regularly create new cards for sites both in the UK and abroad, as well as hosting a large selection on my own website. Recently I have been working on longer animations, including pilot TV shows and product explanatory videos. These have been voiced by the likes of Dave Benson Phillips, Rolf Harris and Mark Steele. I have also created many bespoke smileys. As well as working freelance, I teach courses in Cartooning and Flash Character Animation at The Institute in London. I am happy to discuss any project and aim to offer clients a professional yet personal service. Please feel free to contact me to discuss your ideas.
