Welcome to my online portfolio.

I’m a cartoonist, illustrator and writer.

I've created daily, weekly and monthly strips plus single panel cartoons, illustrations and features in a variety of styles and formats for a wide range of clients across the media, including newspapers, magazines, print and electronic publishing, animation and websites, for individuals, companies and organisations.

With a rapid turnaround rate, often working to tight deadlines, I can supply both artwork and copy - from a single caption to an entire comic or feature.

All images are © Kate Charlesworth, unless otherwise indicated.
