Bloghorn’s featured Artist of the Month for February 2010 is cartoonist Robert Duncan.  He specialises in cartoons for advertising and his client list includes many well-known companies. He was one-fifth of the recent winning team of cartoonists on  the Eggheads TV quiz and hs comedy play Cluedo holds the all-time box office record at the Theatre Royal Windsor. His book, A Rum Do is a bestseller in Barbados (but nowhere else). He estimates he has produced over 3000 greetings card designs in a  long and varied career.

But what caused him to take up the noble art of cartooning in the first place?

I became a cartoonist because I was hopeless at sport at school, and funny drawings kept me out of trouble. I was always fascinated by the fact that you could draw a single frame and tell an entire story. It struck me as a great way to earn a living, because you would get better at it all the time, and retirement would not be an option…

This is the first of four posts from Robert during the next month. You can check out our artist of the month archives here.
