Here are some of the people we've had the pleasure of working with and meeting along the way, many of whom have contributed to the industry with passion, creativity and dedication.
π±π°π²πΊ πΈπ½ π±π»π°π²πΊ - Mark Risby
As it is IBC season again, and everyone is shuffling off to Amsterdam to look at new tech and a few beers with friends at the beach bar, I thought I'd do a caricature of Marc Risby, as I saw he was hosting the IBC Podcast this year.

Anyone who's ever needed a desk for their post production room, will have undoubtedly encountered the charismatic Guy Wilson of AKA Design.
Full of charm, Guy strides on site armed with a portfolio of drawings, endless enthusiasm, cheeky humour and a smile capable of making you feel like youβve just found your new best friend. It's impossible not to like him !!

Iβve been sketching this caricature of Olly Strous ever since he completed the London - Paris bike ride back in July. But I held off sharing it until he completed the second leg of his charity challenge, Race The Sun, this past weekend in the Lake District- involving even more biking, hiking, and kayaking [or any other activity with a 'K' in it !] what madness Olly!!

Whenever I walk into a post-production event, I donβt need to look for name badges or scan the room. I just close my eyes, and listen. Above the hubbub of the roomI can hear it - that unmistakable, joyfully booming laugh. Thatβs Kaye Davis!! And just like that, I know exactly where she is. Honestly, if you canβt find Kate in a crowd, you might want to get your ears checked

Have you ever seen John Johnson [ JJ ] wearing long trousers? No? well that's because he π°π»ππ°ππ wears shorts. Here I've drawn him skateboarding from the Scrub Office to the HHB headquarters on Scrubs Lane in his usual attire.

Phil Crawley and i go back over 35 years, and here he is cycling as ever around London. Here though rushing to get the stand built for MPTS

With πΌπΏππ, the Media Production & Technology Show, just around the corner, I thought it would be fun to draw Gavin Drake as he prepares to ship out to this prestigious show. Gavin is a true no nonsense Yorkshireman who has been with Canford Audio ffor more than 25 years.

Ben Nemes has always been the mastermind behind some truly brilliant ideas. Nearly 20 years ago, he came up with SCRUB - the London-based office for HHB Communication - created to supply and support pro audio equipment for post-production clients right on their doorstep.

Argosy Components celebrated its 40th anniversary last year, and I thought it would be fun to mark the occasion with a cartoon featuring the Argosy Team β or "πππ π° ππππ" β as they gear up for another year of exhibitions. Here's the main man Chris Smeeton, with his trusty sidekicks Josh & John

I thought it would be fun to do a caricature of Darren Digby...Digger to his friends
The amazing thing about Digger is that no matter how long I spend on designing cable schedules he will π°π»ππ°ππ find a mistake. βMike I think you have duplicated some numbers hereβ, or βshouldnβt the reference cables have black strain relief bootsβ aaarrrggghhhh!!
