Cats in the Sky (with diamonds?)

I can't believe that I've been drawing "Sky Cats" cartoons in the Emirates airlines "Open Skies" in-flight magazine for almost 2 years now! Catch up on any cartoons that you may have missed here...

It's Christmas! Let's...

something festive...

christmas swag

I was going to make a Christmas Gift guide for this blog, but then I realised that I am too lazy, so I'm just going to direct you to my "Products with my drawings on 'em" Pinterest board, where you will find a few potential gift ideas...

PSSST!

In 2 weeks, I will be going to Frankfurt, home of such delicacies as Handkäse mit Musik and Apfelwein, to install a giant, hungry Monster in the MMK (Museum für Moderne Kunst) as part of the "PSSST" exhibition... Bis bald!

Hangman Style

I think I'm officially a Cartoonist now. I offended people with this cartoon! It's not meant to be offensive, by the way... It's a reference to the superfun childrens' word-game that is Hangman.

Filofaxin'

The lovely folk at Filofax kindly sent me one of their new Flex notebooks, so I had a go at doodling a "Day in the Life" ... as you can see, my day often consists mainly of thinking and/or drinking coffee. Sometimes it takes hours for me to come up with the idea that I've been searching for and I'll end up drawing into the night. My favourite inspirations are reading the newspaper, going for a walk and browsing t'internet.

I had lots of fun drawing in the lovely smooth pages of my new Flex notebook (which features lots of handy pockets, always a plus).

it's a cat's life...

guess what came out today?
if you guessed "Gemma's cat-tastic new book - A Cat's Life" then congratulations - you are correct!

Sandy, New York and Pizza Cats

Provided that Sandy concedes to bestow her good grace upon me, I will be travelling to New York next week for the Pictoplasma NY conference, where I will be doing a talk and taking part in the Pictoplasma group exhibition at Cappellini Gallery Soho, which runs November 1-30.*

a spot of light cartooning...

I should explain, for the non-British among you, that Monster Munch is a brand of crisps/chips. My favourite flavour is Roast Beef.
