A sad farewell to Severnprint.

pauldaviescartoons

I’d been a freelance cartoonist for just over 30 years and had sort of passed my ‘sell by’ date. At the time I was 58 years old and my typical day was to get the kids in the car to drive them to school or meet a friend half way, and take his, or he’d take mine. A good arrangement. David was the sales director of Severnprint, a company who I had used to print various things for me and my clients over the years.

The drawing along with others was for a publication called Creative Handbook, a listings guide of all the ‘creatives’ in the UK. A book used by many art buyers of ad agencies and therefore … Continue reading Miss Print 1979

Cheesy bits.

As we await the return of the binmen, though one is not supposed to call them that any more, but that is what we do, and we can reflect on our Christmas. All our four grandsons came for a while so the house became a sort of Brands Hatch at times and noise levels reached a high. It was a joy to see and hear them. The LA lot were the last to go and had the furthest to travel home, and even that took them twice as long as it should after being ‘bumped off’ their flight. A family … Continue reading Cheesy bits.
