In Philip Ardagh’s Grubtown Tales, The Repulsive Mr. Org is described as having hair so filthy and greasy that it would be more accurate to say he had hairy grease than greasy hair.

Hi everyone! Part of the fun of being an illustrator is doing lots of different kinds of artwork for different folks. Variety is good. But sometimes themes start cropping up. Last year, I did lots of monsters. The year before it seemed I was getting called to create lots of alien characters. But there is one subject that keeps popping up in my artwork year after year. Ducks. Sometimes as the main character and sometimes to just make the scene more… duckier. I like ducks a lot. The quacking, the wet, webby feet. The rows of razor sharp teeth. I like it all.
Here are some ducks that were created over the last year or two for various clients.
