A long time ago, my mum caught me trying to sneak out and buy a David Lee Roth record when I should have been revising for my A Levels. "For god's sake, Joe" she cried, "all you ever do is whizz about entertaining yourself." 

I continue to whizz about entertaining myself to this day, keeping as many other people entertained as I can in the process.  I do illustration of all sorts, write and draw children's books, do comic strips and cartoons, make animated films and title sequences. I live in Bristol with my wife and three daughters.

My mum still hopes I'll calm down and start being sensible.
