ABOUT
As a child, I always wanted to be a Mountie (as in “Royal Canadian Mounted Police “) but when I discovered that they didn’t get to ride horses all the time and didn’t get to wear those nifty red coats everyday (red being my favorite color as a child) I decided that the next best thing was being a cartoonist.
Over the years, I’ve been involved in greeting card design, logo design, animation, newspaper editorial cartooning, book illustration and a plethora (that’s a great word that you just can’t slide into every conversation) of related projects.
As a sidebar you might be interested to know that I was also the co-creator of the comic book hero, Captain Canuck. http://chapterhouse.ca
I discovered the internet in early 1996 and decided that it was time to put away my crayons and see if I couldn’t put my talents to work digitally. Good cartoon clip art on the net was sorely lacking and that became my focus.
I had been teaching junior high up to that point and so I continued to teach by day while cartooning nights and weekends. It wasn’t until 2003 that I finally put my teaching career behind me and devoted myself full time to Toonaday and custom cartooning.
