David Lewis cartoons is live...

I am SO excited to announce that David Lewis Cartoons is now live!  In case you don't know, David Lewis, a very talented caricaturist, is my husband and we've worked together on the launch of this website together with our wonderful designer Sarah of Saronyx Design.  I wrote the copy for David's site, so it's kind of my baby too... We're both thrilled that David has now entered the twenty-first century (only seven years late!).

If you think you recognise the cartoon image in the screenshot here, it's Posh and Becks from 2DTV on which David worked as a designer.   There's also a great link on the site which I'll repeat here to 'Shoot the Dog' the George Michael video, for which David drew the majority of backgrounds.  If you watch carefully, you'll see a row of terraced houses in the video (next to the messy house in which George plays the Simpson family) - one of those houses is the house we used to live in... 

David has also started up a newsletter and he's offering a free caricature to one new subscriber each month, so if you fancy a mug-shot of yourself or a family member, do sign up...

David and I work together at home, two artist-entrepreneurs occupying the same space and brainstorming constantly.  He works primarily in the corporate sector, focussing on business cartoons, corporate entertainment and caricature gifts although he is now branching out into newspaper and magazine illustration and has already illustrated several books.   Oh - and he recently worked as a caricaturist for her Majesty the Queen for her eightieth birthday party at the Ritz.

We both like to combine our own artistic pursuits with our businesses and sometimes the edges of the two blur...as a result, I've become increasingly fascinated with how artists and creative writers can mine their creativity and also make money and this conviction - that the two can go hand in hand - will be at the heart of my new business 'The Essential Artist' which will be launching in the next month or so... I've been absent on this blog for a while, for which, apologies.  But all that is about to change.  In the next few days I'll update you on what's been going on (there's news on the book front too...) and what to look out for.  This blog is most definitely back...
