Introduction	My full-time cartooning career started at age 45 in Gympie, Qld with souvenir designs for Murray Views Pty Ltd., a Souvenir manufacturer and distributor. I was there 8 years and concurrently contributed a weekly cartoon on local affairs for the Gympie Times. I kept the GT cartoons going for another 7 years while I was resident caricaturist at Ettamogah Pub / Aussie World. I retired from AW after 17 years and 64,000 quick personality portraits. All the while, I did hundreds of larger works from photos.Then, for six years, I was privileged to care for my wife, Joy, through her chronic lung illness. Joy passed away in December 2013 and in June 2014, I resumed my Personality Portraits, stationed outside "Matoomba" Retail located @ "The Pottery", 171 Main Street, Montville on some Sundays and school holidays. During Winter 2015, I rejoined the QLD Regional Shows circuit from Maryborough to Cairns and the Kuranda Heritage Markets. In March 2016 I remarried. Barbara and I retired (again) to the Caloundra area and I suspended my cartooning and caricature work.
