Andrew Hore - About the Cartoonist

I specialise in humourous cartooning and illustrating and have had comic strips, illustrations and posters published in numerous newspapers, magazines, books and for organisations both locally and nationally. With experience in community and youth work, I also focus my business towards community involvement and promoting the Canberra region.

I am a young middle aged still growing up fitness fanatic with a rural background who has lived in Canberra for over 25 years and loves the place. Interests include loud music, rugby league, distance running, books, beer with mates and doing half arsed pushups on the oval. Very happy living where I am feeding wild birds and large goldfish when the birds aren’t eating them.
