Jason Manford..

On his Facebook page the comedian was offering £200 to anyone who could produce a cartoony type caricature for a new comedy club he was starting..so I thought I would give it a go....just finished it and was about to put it on his Facebook page when I read that the offer had been taken down.Apparently he had received so much abuse from people who drew logo's for a living that he felt this was the best action to take !!!! perhaps if they had got off their bums and done a drawing instead of being on Facebook someone would have been £200 better off....just saying..

Stamps...

After more years than I care to remember I  have started to enjoy stamp collecting..... and ,as you do ,I went onto e bay to see what was for sale that might be of interest....

I put in an unsuccessful bid for a set of stamps depicting children's comics...

New Blog Header..

Each year I change the blog header and try to do something different...
The blog is called Cartoonmans blog, but regular visitors will know that there are very few cartoons on the blog....thats not to say I don't draw them,I do, but usually as commissioned pieces and not for my blog.
So where is all this leading...I hear you ask...dont I ?
well you will notice that the new header invites you to enjoy the Art of John Fisher..(thats me) which will encompass all the drawing I do.
I hope you will enjoy visiting in 2014 and thank you for your continued support.....

Happy Christmas..

I want to wish everyone who has visited my blog a very happy Christmas...and to those who have taken the time to comment on my work ..thank you very much it is very much appreciated..
HAPPY CHRISTMAS...
