Doilies

This strip is based on a real conversation I heard while travelling on a Brighton bus. Click to see each section larger.

[Disclaimer: the cartoon was inspired by an actual conversation, but I make no guarantee about the likenesses of the people depicted]

I started a new piece for my collage project, and it wasn’t going the way I wanted it to, so I put it to one side for a bit and thought I’d dash off a cartoon.

Insert a hollow laugh here. I honestly thought that it’d be a couple of evenings’ work. Will I never learn?

Cartooning is the most labour intensive form of illustration – well, it is the way I do it. I need to develop a looser, faster style, clearly.

I’ve overheard a few conversations on buses, but never thought of a cartoon. I love your illustrations. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you! Well, my first impulse was to tweet it, but a cartoon is less ephemeral. :)
