About the Artist.
Hello, I'm Paul Carpenter and amongst other things I do cartoons.
I started with editorial style topical cartoons at the beginning of the Covid breakout and have expanded to everyday observations and things that have been floating around in my head for years.
From one liners I remember by old U.S. comedians like Jack Benny, Groucho Marx and Bob Hope (that latter actually being born in the UK),
to some of the 80's and 90's British comedians that I grew up watching like Morecambe and Wise, The Two Ronnies, Bob Monkhouse, Ken Dodd, Dave Allen and so many more.
All of them and shows like Monty Python, Only Fools and Horses, Are You Being Served, One Foot in the Grave, Fawlty Towers, The Young Ones, Black Adder and so on, have influenced how I think.
And as is such with age, I seem to remember more about those decades than what I was doing or watching last week.
Anyhow, when you get 5 minutes take a look at some of my drawings and if just one of them brings a smile to your face
(an inner smile will do), then that makes me a little happier.
However, 'happier' doesn't pay the bills, so if you think there might be a place for one of my cartoons
in your company newsletter or social pages I'll happily send you the high resolution file for a small token fee,
you know, just enough to help keep the wolves from my door, put a crust on the table and help to feed my hungry dog.
Email or message me below for more info.
