Cartoon Studio mission statement…Produce quality cartoons for YOU in a creative and stressfree manner!
Here’s some cartoons(That I’ll show you here over the next few posts.) I did to illustrate a book titled WHO PAYS YOUR SALARY – IT’S NOT YOUR BOSS By Jacob Thomas.
If you would like to reserve your copy of the book please click here…WHO PAYS YOUR SALARY

(This was only the initial sketch.)
CHAPTER 3 Extract….
There’s an old expression, “Perception is all there is”. The customer’s perception is reality, and perception is rarely neutral: it’s either positive or negative.
When seating me in a St. Louis area restaurant, the host pulled out the chair. I was grateful, but one look under the table filled me with apprehension. I could see under the table that the floor was littered with crumbs and empty cracker packages. When I see the dining room floor, I now know what the kitchen looks like and what kind of food to expect. That’s my perception — and it becomes the reality by which I decide whether to eat there again.

Don’t leave it too late to order your caricature gifts for your friends and family.
Here’s a reply I recently got for producing this caricature…(It was drawn at A3 size.)
If you are looking for a caricature, then look no further. This man is a genius, his work truly beautiful. He captured my parents perfectly and we couldn’t ask for anything more. He was completely open to my vision of how the picture should look, made changes without complaint and in reality the finished article exceeds all your expectations. We are looking forward to commissioning the next one! Thank you Richard.

As it’s Halloween – I thought I’d show you a couple of Halloween cartoons I did for a His ‘N’ Hers calendar a few years ago…(These His ‘N’ Hers calendars are aimed at the mass market so are safe for general consumption!)

Here’s a cartoon I drew for a client last year – it was to illustrate you should still think about safety even at Christmas.

And a quick ABC of safety….
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
Better to have two on the job than one in the hospital.
Carbon monoxide is the “silent killer”, install CO detectors.

I recently enquired about the domain name www.cartoonstudio.com as I have the .co.uk and .biz versions. Here’s the reply I got…
Thank you for your inquiry.
Please be advised that the current owner of the domain name does not really sell many names.
However, if you wish to pursue the purchase of the domain, the current registrant has advised us we can forward offers $100,000.00 USD or higher to determine if they want to consider the offer.
$100,000.00! Looks like I’ll have to stick with what I’ve got unless I have a multi-million lottery win!

I have loadsa money - let me buy a .com domain name!
At least no other cartoonist will be able to afford it either – if they wanted it!?

A client asked me if I had any ‘circus’ related cartoons. I knew I’d drawn a cartoon on ‘tight rope walking’ one some years. And managed to find it in an old ‘Loser Lee’ cartoon strip I created twenty odd years ago. Why I ever thought a ‘loser’ cartoon character would be a success I’ll never know!
Here’s one of them…

It wasn’t the sort of thing my client was after by the way!

This was something a bit different for me to draw up – even after all my years drawing cartoons I’d never done artwork for a flip book. You’ve seen those books where you flip through the pages to produce an animation!?
Brian Belstirling of The Copy Center asked me if I was able to morph their old logo ‘The Copy Center’ into his new company logo ‘Commerce Print Strategies’. He provided high res files for both logos and then we discussed a few ideas and finally agreed that we would pump up the old logo until it blew up and then all the bits floated down into the new one.

Here’s Brian’s original sketch…
