Artist > Rupert Fawcett

 Rupert was born and raised in Kensington, West London. HHe became a professional cartoonist almost by accident when in 1989 whilst doodling he drew a little bald man in braces and carpet slippers and named him Fred.

Within months Fred cartoons were appearing every week in Midweek, a free magazine given away at London tube stations. This was soon followed by a book deal and a contract for Fred greeting cards. These proved very popular and within a short space of time were to be seen in every high street in the country. A range of Fred merchandise followed with a steady succession of books. The cartoons also appeared in the Mail On Sunday for four years.

Over eight million Fred cards have been sold and they are still going strong, currently available in WH Smith, Marks and Spencer, on-line from Moonpig.com and in a large number of independent retailers. Since 1990 Rupert has had 21 books published.
