I’ve made many TV appearances over the years, starting with Vets in Practice back in 2000 where I drew Truda’s caricature. I was also interviewed on TV by several News crews (Central, BBC, Sky) regarding my caricature exhibition at the Leicester Comedy Festival earlier that year. In February 2005 I was asked to draw live on ITV’s Paul O’Grady show, where I drew several guests on set throughout the show, including Jerry Hall, Terry Jones and of course Paul O’Grady himself.
This lead to an appearance on Today with Des & Mel in November of that year, where I met Katie Melua and the charming Joe Pasquale, then drew Des O’Connor and Mel Sykes live on set. They invited me back later that month to teach them both how to draw a caricature on their show, where I met Chas & Dave, Vanessa Feltz and drew Pat Cash’s caricature too. My next TV commission was in May 2007 for BBC1, when they filmed me drawing Tony Blair’s caricature for a Money Programme special about Tony Blair’s fortune.
BBC then filmed me later that year for the One Show, were I had to draw Dom Littlewood in the middle of Covent Garden as a part of an Art special. This was aired in November 2007, did you see it? I was also filmed in December 2007, drawing a host of famous footballers at the Jason Roberts Foundation charity gala in Manchester, where I caricatured Robbie Savage, MG Pedersen, Emile Heskey and Chris Kamara to name but a few.
This was aired on Sky Sports later in December 2007. September 2009 saw me on BBC's One Show for a second appeance, this time drawing presenter Lucy Siegel to illustrate an article on ID Fraud. So far 2011 has brought me a commission of Russell Tovey for BBC three's comedy 'HIM & HER' then Phil Tuffnel for the One Show again, both being aired in August, While my Paul O'Grady caricature was featured on Chris Moyles Quiz Night on Channel 4 in October 2011. Look out for it's repeat appearances!
