Cartoons are drawn on paper using prehistoric quills, dip-pens and brushes then scanned into a computer for cleaning up and colouring. Most clients receive the work in a digital form, either via e-mail or on a CD-ROM. I can, however, still remember how to slide paper into an envelope. All cartoons (including those on this site) are subject to the UK's 1988 Copyright Designs & Patents Act and Article 27 of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
