NEW WEBSITE, www.theartfuldoodler.com COMING SOON! For now, those of you on Facebook (probably most of you) why not join my group, The Artful Doodler. PLEASE SCROLL DOWN THE PAGE FOR DETAILS ON HOW TO BOOK ME.

Anyway hello! My name's Rich. I work as a cartoonist in the UK, drawing caricatures of people's ugly mugs at weddings, parties and other venues.. details of how to book me are featured below. It's really great to have such a fun job and for that I consider myself to be very lucky indeed. My real passion in life are the comic books I write. I'm one half of a small press comics company called Pantomime Press, which I run with my old college pal Robert Martin. If you've never read one of my comics before, please give one a try. There's very little if no profit in writing small press comics but simply knowing that people are reading my work is reward enough. It seems bizarre to think of the amount of people that know me that have never read one of my stories. Do they really know me? How do they know that they're not being ridiculed in the pages of my books? Most of my work is adult humour, from my cinema based horror, "Dr. Ripper's Multiplex" to my semi-autobiographical "Cursed Cartoonist" series, but there's also some comics for all ages, such as "Dog Hair" and Alan Donald's epic sci-fi "Angela" which I illustrated. You can visit the Pantomime Press website at www.pantomimepress.co.uk, which has regular updates once every 56, 000 years! Anyone who has read my comics will know that I have a bit of a morbid sense of humour and a taste for the theatrical. Find a tale with the settings of a Dickens novel, the ghoulishness of an Edgar Allen Poe story and the humour of Black Books (the superb channel 4 comedy) and I can die happy! Don't let this concern you if you want to book me to do caricatures at an event however, I'll leave the halloween makeup and the warped sense of humour at home! I am normal, honestly! ..
