Drawing has been an interest of Ian’s since childhood.

Partly influenced by his Grandfather (and his Father), both of whom were professional artists.

Ian started work in 1979 (BC -Before Computers) as a draughtsman and it was during this time his cartoons and caricatures really came to the fore.

His career has always involved drawing and in 1999 he "took the plunge" and became self-employed.

His caricature business initially involved just drawing people from photos sent in the post but after being asked several times to do parties he eventually decides to give it a go.

After a period of intensive self-training he became quick enough to draw caricatures in 5 minutes and so started doing "LIVE" caricatures in 2000. 

Possibly the best way to described how the partygoers greet his drawings is to say, that at most events he ends up being booked to stay longer because everyone wants their own caricature !
