Hercules (cross version)


I was rooting around old bits of artwork & found this picture of Hercules fighting the Nemean lion which was drawn for the cover of a book called 'Hercules The Hero' by Tony Bradman but rejected for being a bit too aggressive - I re drew it but quite like this version too - I love a bit of Greek mythology me!

comic strips for Cartoon Kid




Some of the original strips I drew for Cartoon Kid by Jeremy Strong published by Puffin.
These were really fun to draw (I love a Police elephant!) & was nice to be given pretty much carte blanche on the design & layout

New children's book Cartoon Kid





Puffin have just published the first in the series of Cartoon Kid by Jeremy Strong which I done lots of pictures for. There's lots of elephants & superheroes in it so anyone who knows me will realise it's right up my street.
You can buy it (preferably) from your nice local book shop & support small local shops or else be a lazy arse & get it from t'internet
