This page may take a moment or two to load because of the pics - but hey! This IS a cartoonist's site, after all...
The artist and his tool! Paul McCree - Cartoonist


Cartoon for GP mag.

OUCH - I THINK I FEEL A HEADACHE COMING ON...

The basis of a good cartoon is often to be found in fact. Yet even though Paul McCree has had cartoons and comic strips published in magazines ranging from General Practitioner right through to Abracadabra and even Zit Comic, he personally has never actually been hit on the head by a nurse with a big hammer.

No, this cartoon's only based on fact:

in the real world, she used a bedpan.....


"HEY, LOOK OUT FOR-

- OOPS, TOO LATE..."

"MAN SLIPS ON BANANA SKIN"
Hmmm. As a headline, it lacks punch. But the cartoon, ah, now we're really talking! Nothing gets a message across like a good cartoon.
Paul's work has appeared in corporate training videos, presentational flipcharts, handouts - even exhibition stand graphics.
Waaaah!!


    Fish.....
ToonFish (animated .gif) ....surely the official icon
of the offbeat sense of humour.
"Cartoonists are born, not made" some say. There may be some truth in that after all....
Despite studying for a degree in glass and ceramic design, despite his initial desire to study biology, in fact despite all efforts to avoid it, Paul's destiny lay waiting in the doodles in the margins, and never on the page itself.
"Hey, just what planet is this guy from?" some others say (after seeing Paul's work). It seems cartoonists just don't see the world the same way as the rest of the human race!


Green Man Walking...
Little Green Man
Oh, one more thing: even though Paul's experiences working with molten glass didn't affect his ultimate choice of career, they did leave their mark on his reflexes - to save on dry-cleaning costs, always warn him before handing him a really hot cup of tea!





And now, a bit of Caricature PR work . . .

First, a caricature of Paul's brother Shaun, who was kind enough to donate this chunk of his Virgin Net freespace . . .
