Welcome to the online home of cartoonist and author Colin Shelbourn.

I began drawing and writing when I was quite small and continue to do so now that I’m slightly bigger. My work has appeared in print, on stage and even on the radio (for the Rob McLoughlin Show ). I have also written a number of books and run cartoon workshops.

Since 1984, I’ve produced a topical  front-page cartoon for The Westmorland Gazette in England’s Lake District. You can see this week’s here. There’s an interview with me in the Westmorland Gazette here, just to prove I exist.

My book, DRAWING CARTOONS, is inspired by the lovely people who have attended my workshops. You should rush out and buy a copy immediately.

You can now also buy my cartoon book, TAKE A HIKE, directLY from my eBay store personally signed (by me, for the avoidance of doubt). Click here to solve all your Christmas present angst.
