Time Magazine chose Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg as their Man of the Year but many felt that Steve Jobs deserved the honour, including the Financial Times.

My second Simon Cowell this year.

Review.

My entry for Imagine FX Magazine Xmas Challenge - Robot Santa.

This cherub-faced youth, John Elkann, runs Fiat Motors.

Ai WeiWei, Chinese artist and critic of the government who is in the news. Held under house arrest for not wanting his studio demolished (in other words, for criticising the government).

Guitars as investments.

Spivvy guy. I think he is meant to be a disgusting financial markets trader but I was just told to draw the guy....with lots of gold.

Ed.

Cover illustration for a magazine which featured an article about the dangers of taking money from lonesharks.

Xi Jinping - China's new leader in waiting.

The First Lord of the Treasury, David Cameron.

I was finally asked to do an illustration of Castro. Turns out it was the wrong one - Raul.

Kathryn Bigelow.

Australia's new Prime Minister, Julia Gillard. Sneaked in, with a little help from some friends.

I recently got myself a license for ZBrush. This is my first real attempt at something that looks like something. Great fun!

An illustration for a newsletter. Company chairmen are increasingly finding themselves in the...err...spotlight.

Fabulous *cough* Fabio.

Magazine cover. The Church of England is facing a battle over the introduction of women bishops.

Magazine cover.

I've been wanting to do some work with vectors and Adobe Illustrator. Just started as a doodle ...

...and one of the small illustrations that went inside.

After Ingres. A magazine cover completed shortly before the UK General Election. Obviously Cameron was expected to win but it turns out he should have a little friend sharing his throne.

Happy Tiger, grim Tiger. Two illustrations with only a small time interval between them. How the mighty screw up.

A hung parliament in the UK leads to a coalition and the inevitable discussion about voting reform. I was asked to do a cover illustration depicting this.

This is an illustration I did this week for the Financial Times. Tony Hayward, the boss of BP, has his hands full dealing with the leak from the sunken oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico.

Sarkozy is much easier to draw in profile (who isn't?). This is my initial sketch.

Just for fun, another painting of someone people might know. I spend a great deal of time drawing people who are unrecognisable to the general public. This is, of course, Wayne Rooney of Manchester United.

I've just (almost) finished this painting of Simon Cowell. I've not seen him much on TV but I'm told he is very famous, but not for his square head. However, I believe his high-waisted trousers are stars in themselves.
