Dave left school with one GCSE, and his first job was putting the eyes in teddy bears in a toy factory. After a spell at art college, he worked for several advertising agencies where he designed everything from ads for edible dormice to the Newton & Ridley beer bottle labels for Coronation Street. After a degree in Creative Arts, Dave worked in Amsterdam creating postcards, strip cartoons and illustrations for newspapers. He has since created illustrations, puzzles, cartoon features and strips for magazines and newspapers both in the UK and abroad. Dave has taught in a number of art colleges and universities, and has a PhD in Contemporary Art.
