Jed's illustrated talks will have them falling off their chairs.

I've written some thirty cartoon books and comic strips, and I've been commissioned to produce cartoons for a variety of publications for twenty-five years. My books are sold around the world: in UK and Europe, USA, Australia and China.

From this enormous well of humour, I've put together several talks which are richly illustrated with my cartoons and other work. (Presented on PowerPoint )

Thinking with the underside of the brain

This explains how a cartoonist gets his ideas. Well, it explains how I get my ideas. Choc full of cartoons and award-winning illustrations, this talk is available in 30, 45 and 60 minute sessions. I usually back up the chat with a little on-the-spot demonstration (talk about 'in at the deep end'!)

The funny side of Golf

Ideal to finish off a golf day dinner, the funny side of golf is based on my inexperience of the game (looks like I'm in good company) and my three golf books. A tougher - and some say funnier- version is the Complete Bastard's guide to Golf...

How to make millions as a cartoonist

This talk can be varied to suit differing audiences. Its full version involves discussion of observational and professional illustration techniques and their application to finished work, illustrated by a slide-show portfolio of my life's work, ranging from sketchbooks to paintings, sci-fi strips to adult magazine illustrations. All in the best possible taste, of course.

And can be roll on the floor laughing.

60 minutes or edited to suit.

But is it Art?

This is a serious and yet highly entertaining discussion on whether or not cartoons qualify as fine art. The conclusion I draw may surprise you!

50 minutes
