Who I Am...
I'm an illustrator, a writer, a cartoonist, and an amateur sound maker (under a range of aliases).
Born in Guildford, England, I spent much of my early childhood in Scotland. In 1971 I moved with my family to the United States. Since 1994, I've lived and worked in Seattle, Washington.
What I Do, Where To Find It...
For regular updates on what's happening in my creative life, and links to a great variety of past, present and works-in-progress, visit my blog at Comic, J.W.E. Currently posted is “By Crom! I've Been Scamped!", a humorous true tale of childhood comic book profiteering from 1976.

which commemorates the passing of just over a decade since the initial installment of my twentieth century cartoon strip, Jackass, appeared in Seattle's The Stranger, I've dug through the memory box and have assembled a flowing litany of images and thoughts upon this oddly mercurial little creation; a blessing to some, an itch to others. I hope you enjoy the festivities!
