When The Going Gets Tough, The Tough go shopping for chocolate!
To be fair – When the going gets tough you can rely on me to sort it out. I mean if the batteries are flat in the TV remote I'll pull out all the stops to fix THAT!
I’ve been an cartoon artist for over twenty five years, and I’ve drawn all kinds of comics, posters, postcards etc. I can tell you that they come in very handy when looking to motivate people. I’ve done them for companies that used them to inspire their staff, their sales team and even their colleagues to work harder, faster and better.
You’ll be amazed at how effective they can be. It all goes back to the simple fact that a little humour goes a long way toward helping people to remember things. Also, as it’s done via a visual medium, that helps too. There’s that old saying: “A picture is worth a thousand words”. So, if you get the right images, coupled with your words, you’ll have a winning combination.
I'm down at the moment - but I'll be back!
I can do both postcards and posters, created from a brief that you send me. And don’t worry about time; I don’t have to have it via snail-mail. You just e-mail me an outline of what you need, and I’ll create a rough sketch as a first draft. After that, you review it, make additions, subtractions and/or changes; then I’ll go to work on finalizing all of the artwork.
Once I’ve got things just the way you want them, I’ll send you the approved artwork. You can get them in either full colour or black and white. It all really depends on your budget. After all, colour does cost more, but you might think it’s worth it.
Motivational poster to motivate staff to keep the car's battery on charge while on the BMW production line.
Still, no matter what you need me to create, you’ll have posters and/or postcards that are tailor-made to your company and your message. Believe me, they are a great motivational tool.
I have to include a shameless plug every now and then to try and drum up some future business!

I came across this piece by Jill Koenig of GoalGuru.com
Before any revolution can occur in the outside world, it must first occur inside you. Your No.1 job in visualization is to believe and be ready to receive.
Every physical manifestation begins with a mental creation. Your ability to take your highest goals and continually hold them in your thoughts with passion, excitement and enthusiasm will cause them to become real.
I was looking around for a cartoon on ‘visualizing your goals’. I knew I’d done something some years ago.
This was one of a series I did for my local Business Link magazine years and years ago.
Visualizing won’t work the first time you use it – but if you keep doing it then things start to happen!
I’m hitting my targets! Was an ‘affirmation‘ type cartoon that I drew for a sales team that needed inspiring to work on the presentations they were making to their clients. The brief was ‘Richard please draw me a cartoon with a positive self-talk theme that I can email to my sales force.’
It is not just the championship athlete or record breaker that aspires
to push their limits and become great.
It is also the parent, teacher and coach who wants their children and
students to reach their full potential.
It’s the leader or entrepreneur who want to create a culture that
inspires excellence and innovation.
It’s the artist who wants to create a true work of art that moves
everyone who comes in contact with it.
It’s everyone who strives to excel on their own terms, to set and
realize personal goals and achieve their own defining moment of
greatness.
That’s the insight behind the “100 Day Challenge”, a powerful program
designed to inspire anyone who wants to achieve their own moment of
greatness, and who truly wants to be the best they can be.
When commissioning cartoons… Pick TWO of the three options!
Good+Fast = Expensive Choose this and I’ll postpone every other project on my drawing board, my round of golf or give up my footy match ticket and work day and night to get your job done. It WILL NOT BE CHEAP though!
Good+Cheap = Slow Choose good and cheap and I’ll still do a great job at a discounted price. But you’ll have to be patient while I fit you in after my higher paying clients, updating my web site, going down the gym, my footy matches, rounds of golf and liquid lunches!
Fast+Cheap = Inferior Choose this option at your peril. It will still be delivered on time but it will be inferior, as many corners as possible will be cut. You know the saying ‘You get what you pay for!’ The least favorable option in my opinion!
