Whilst in Edinburgh I spent a few years work for TANGENTS, a youth group.

We delivered workshops on safe sex, mental health and safe drug use. Along with working with the homeless and local councils across Scotland to develop new workshops and information packs. One of the most successful packs was MENTAL ELF.

Brought into the world by John Wallace, and illustrated by me, Elf was used on a series of postcards and later – became a interactive CDROM (for Rural Media Prod.) Always spreading hope and awareness of mental health issue, with handy tips on looking after yer heed.

The last lot looked sweet - so I'm gonna put up a few more panels of Scrub n Tuffy, for yer viewing pleasure.

I worked for a few printers in Scotland and began to self publish. I put together several projects, but the easiest was BATCH 25. An A6 sized compliation of bits and bobs from artistic mates and me.
Then with Tim Boland Batch 25 reached new heights and developed characters and a whole world. It ran in a very pleasing A3 sized newspaper format.
When I moved down to Brighton i didn’t put anything together for a year or two. I worked up Scrub n Tuffy and coloured it so it was too exspensive to print. So here are a few of the panels I liked the most, that would otherwise never be seen.

SCRUB N TUFFY

I moved down to Brighton from Edinburgh in 2000ad. And immediately started on an iconic styled strip called Scrub & Tuffy. In the style of Dexters lab and Power Puff Girls. Although i managed several storylines worth of material i found the iconic style limited in the depth of emotion the characters could show. So a new set of characters began to emerge and i upped the detail and began to colour more of the pages.

HALF RIPPED

I was digging out an old photo of me to scan for the site - when i came across some photos of banners i'd painted for clubs in Scotland in the ninties. Firstly my daughter, then D.J.Paul who was a co founder of LIFT. LIFT ran for years and was of the highest quality. I also did several fly posters which i enjoyed seeing half ripped off around town.
