Where a cartoons aim may be to raise a smile, an illustration is designed to illustrate and be relevant to the material on which the image will appear. The technique is commonly used to illustrate books but can be used for business literature and websites. An illustration can contain humour but it is not its main purpose.
My main style is bold and colourful my aim is to match my varied style to suit the material being illustrated. Should you require a more realistic approach then I am equally at home drawing in a slightly more stylised realistic edge.
Topics I have drawn cartoons for range from: football, picture framing, valves, computer services, recycling to name just a few but I pride myself on being able to make a gag cartoon on any subject.
