Ship Fans by Flakt Woods

A ship entering service in the Navy had many of its fans supplied by Flakt Woods. The demanding country authorities required very extensive Operation and Maintenance Manuals for each piece of kit on the ship.
Each fan required a binder at least 25-35mm thick. Multiply that by the number of individual fans and other pieces of equipment means a pretty extensive library at the other end… Tonnes of paper work!

Health and Safety Introduction

Cartoons are far more memorable and make a bigger impact than words on their own.

The rules in this factory require that visitors stay on the green walkways.

Why not have some memorable H&S notices for your staff?!

Bird Watching!

Every birder will appreciate the irony of hearing some exotic bird - and then not actually being able to find it!

This frequently happens to me ('cos I'm not really very good at it)...but it did inspire an amusing cartoon.

Rained on Rideouts

I think every biker has this sometimes…

It was my birthday, and I had a scrummy breakfast - donned my gear and promptly got rained on…

(cool Y-fronts, don't you think?)

Bird Watching gets difficult!

Near where I live is Abberton Reservoir - well known among birders and twitchers for attracting some unusual and rare species. I've seen African Spoonbill, Great Northern Divers, and other rare breeds.

Trouble is there's a lot of inbreeding, especially among Mallard and Pin Tails, resulting in some "rare" birds... That aren't really!

Ever wondered what the birds think about the watchers?!!


Kaizen Management Training, Finding the Root of the Problem

I completed about 50 pictures for a complete Kaizen Management training programme for an international company.

The Kaizen training was to be delivered as far afield as India, Singapore, Finland, USA and other places. Pictures communicate the concepts far more efficiently than the spoken word and diagrams.

This illustration was to show that often a problem...the tree falling over... may appear to be one problem ... the kids playing, when in fact there is a more significant root cause

Crime and Prejudice against bikers

Tony Blair has often stated that the current government is "tough on crime and tough on the causes of crime".

If you read the "about me" bit you will know I take road safety seriously - This cartoon was a caption competition on Commuter Motorcycle Club, and was won by "Storm" - that's his caption. We thought it was great!

Accidents when riding Abroad

Neil Johns, a solicitor specialising in motorcycles often writes articles for the BMF (British Motocycle Federation) Magazine - "Motorcycle Rider".

The key phrase below was adapted and added into this illustration, added to the article…

Ergonomics and Motorbikes

Dr Alex Stedmon, is a lecturer at the Nottingham University. He is conducting research into ergonomics associated with biking

He wrote an article for "Motorcycle rider" magazine - this was an illustration I supplied to emphasise one part of his article.

DON'T FORGET TO SPONSOR DR STEDMON on his charity ride for Cancer Research and Acorns children's Hospice! (see top of this page)
