1. What does a corporate cartoonist actually do? A corporate cartoonist helps businesses communicate complex ideas through engaging, bespoke illustration. This can include training visuals, internal communications, campaign artwork, explainer graphics and custom characters designed specifically for corporate audiences.
2. What types of businesses do you work with? I work with organisations of all sizes, from SMEs to multinational companies. Typical clients include manufacturing firms, engineering companies, logistics providers, training departments, HR teams and corporate communications professionals.
3. How can cartoons be used in corporate communications? Cartoons are highly effective for simplifying technical information, supporting training materials, reinforcing key messages and increasing engagement in internal campaigns. They make information more memorable without undermining professionalism.
4. Do you create custom characters for long-term company use? Yes. Many organisations commission bespoke cartoon characters for ongoing use in campaigns, training materials and internal branding. Characters can be designed to reflect your company culture and visual identity.
5. Can you illustrate complex or technical subjects accurately? Absolutely. With over 40 years’ experience, I regularly work with detailed briefs and technical content. I collaborate closely with clients to ensure accuracy while maintaining clarity and visual impact.
6. What is your process for commissioning a project? The process is straightforward. It typically begins with a discussion about objectives, audience and usage. From there, I provide concept sketches for approval before moving to final artwork. Clear communication is maintained throughout.
7. How long does a typical project take? Timescales depend on complexity and scope. A single illustration may take a few hours/day, while larger campaigns or character development projects take longer. Deadlines are agreed in advance and managed professionally.
8. Do you work with marketing and design teams? Yes. I regularly collaborate with in-house marketing teams, designers and communications managers. Artwork can be supplied in formats suitable for print, digital platforms and large-scale display.
9. Can your illustrations be used for training materials? Yes. Corporate training visuals are one of the most effective uses of cartoon illustration. They improve engagement, increase retention and help reinforce key behavioural messages.
10. Do you offer animation as well as static illustration? Yes. In addition to static cartoons, I create whiteboard-style animations and visual sequences that can be used in corporate presentations and training videos.
11. Do you work with international clients? Yes. While based in the UK, I work with clients worldwide. Projects are managed efficiently via email and video calls, with artwork delivered digitally in professional formats.
12. How do I get started? Simply get in touch with a brief outline of your project. The more information you can provide about your objectives, audience and intended use, the better. From there, I’ll guide you through the next steps.

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!
