I spent a year living in Paris after I graduated from Cambridge. I lived in the 20e arrondissement on the rue dupont de l'Eure, just round the corner from Prisunic and, fortunately, a police station (helps keep down crime in the neighbourhood). I worked for an International MBA school, a transcription company called 'Hors Ligne' (now Ubiquis) and a dodgy English language school.
This did not leave much time for illustrating, apart from this one piece of whimsy.

'Baudelaire's Cat' - a (failed) entry for the Independent newspaper's cartoon competition February 1997.
