Simon St.John Lake Web Cartoonist (Funny Business) for hire

[Simon Lake]

Hi,

I am a qualified Graphic/ Web designer with a distinction at The Cartoon Academy. I do any cartooning work whatsoever, be it single- panel gags, strips, caricatures, Corporate presentations, logos, greetings cards, tee shirt designs (or any merchandise), or whatever you have in mind to promote your business. Cartoons are a great way of doing this, as they provide impact and a light- hearted approach to otherwise mundane advertising.

I am used to working to a brief and can supply blueprints or finished artwork in any format that you may require (ie: JPEG, TIFF, GIF etc.) or indeed proofs via the post. I like to draw my original artwork in pencil and submit suggestions to any prospective client and then do the approved designs in black pen and then colour electronically in Photoshop. I am however able to work with various other mediums and I can deliver in Vector Format.

I have extensive experience with Desktop Publishing and reproduction and am therefore able to take a brief from initial conception to the final product. This includes colour seperation CMYK/ bleeds/ crop matks etc. If you want to enhance your image I can do it for you. That's my Job. I wish I had joined the French Foreign Legion when I had the chance but it's too late now.

My favourite Quotation?
"Whenever I consider engaging in any exercise I pour myself a stiff Cognac and light a Cigar. The feeling soon goes away!" (Winston Churchill)

My favourite song?
Under the influence. (Eminem)

My pet hate?
Snakes and Newsreaders. (Not necessarily in that order)

My favourite Band?
Bay City Rollers and Sir Cliff Richard and Abba (as if)

I'm not too sure about my Grandmother's bust measurements but last time I checked it was about 33D but you may have to google that. Or even ask Jeeves.

My favourite colour is orange.

Thanks for reading,
Si
