Welcome to my Web pages. I am Richard Skipworth, freelance cartoonist and illustrator. I live in Worcestershire, England and work from home. I have been a freelance for about 25 years, and a professional cartoonist for the last 20.
I started my design and illustration career as a graphic designer in advertising agencies and newspapers, but I always wanted to be a cartoonist.
I studied Physics at Manchester University, but really I wanted to draw cartoons. When I graduated with my physics degree and got a job packing mackerel in a freezer factory I still kept alive that little dream of drawing funny pictures and getting paid for it.
