Pete's cartoon work
Press, PR, marketing, promotional, advertising, illustration, greetings cards, educational, entertainment.
"My cartoons have been used by many different clients, large and small, to help communicate their message to their target audience. Graphic Humour is not only memorable but in many cases, also more effective than photography or the written word. (See above)...one of my cartoons used for a Friends of the Earth (Europe) campaign on energy and climate change."
