Drawn from 2017: The year in cartoons

About James Mellor

James Mellor is a freelance writer and cartoonist. He launched his company James Mellor Creative in 2012 to help people turn their ideas into usable engaging and memorable content. The business is built around his three areas of expertise - research writing and cartoon illustration - deployed either independently or in combination. In these areas he has worked with large institutions SMEs start-ups and individuals to get their unique messages across in print online and via social media. In his illustrative role James creates cartoons for a wide range of corporate and private clients. Outside of JMC he is the Associate Illustrator at Lea Graham Associates Ltd. His cartoon work also appears regularly in Professional & Organisational Development's Thought for the Week and GAMBICA's Business Impacts. A History graduate from the University of York James' main interest away from work is the past (which probably comes across in his cartoons). As a supporter of Harlequins and Arsenal he is accustomed to long periods of disappointment punctuated by occasional moments of brilliance. James lives in Rushden with his wife Rachel daughter Talitha and a small sociopathic cat.
