New Toons

Hi there! I’m a Musician, IT Guy,, Husband and Father. I enjoy drawing and painting, but found that basically I don’t have the talent to turn out fantastic work quickly. My masterpieces take absolutely fucking ages, and they’re probably still shit by anybody else’s standards. The elements of cartoons and comics I most enjoy are the stories and the jokes… the perfect cover for the fact I can’t draw very well… I mean, er….

“I create intentionally simple illustrations to convey my often hilarious commentary on modern life.”

So along came halfarse.com! An outlet for my boundless creativity or, more honestly, a place where I can make fun of  my family, friends, work colleagues, acquaintances, the afflicted and, well… life in general.You’ll find my musings on a variety of subjects, and you can contact me via the various social networks (links all over the page). It is thought to be bad form to explain jokes, but yo’ll find accompanying context with my work, which is as much for me as it is for you.

If you like my work, and have sought appropriate attention from a doctor (physician) and/or optician (optometrist), I would delighted to accept requests for future work to appear on this site as well as commissions for more bespoke pieces. You’ll find examples of previous work in the Personalised Cartoons section.

So that’s it from me. Hope you enjoy my crappy cartoons.
