Born in Hertfordshire (UK) George cut his artistic teeth studying in StAlbans then Leicester, where he began his professional career after his Degree in Graphic Design in 1991. Working as a music promoter and in-house designer by day and drawing live caricatures by night, George's passion for caricatures grew. His graphic style was picked up by TV Times in 1999 and he became one of their spot illustrators, drawing weekly published caricatures until 2003. George gave up the day job in 2001 and his live caricaturing career as blossomed since.

George was commissioned to draw Ant & Dec's leaving caricature for SMTV and also a Geoff Hoon caricature for Bremner, Bird & Fortune in 2002. In 2005 George appeared live on TV's Paul Ogrady Show, then twice on Today with Des & Mel. George then appeared on BBC's Money Programme and the One Show in 2007, leading to a second One Show appearance in 2009. George recently drew Phil Tufnell for them and actor Russ Tovey for BBC's Him & Her sitcom

George's live caricaturing skills travel well and have taken him to Barcelona, Berlin, Zurich, Belfast and last year to Bahrain, where he wowed the crowds with live digital colour caricatures on the big screen! Back at home in the UK, George has become a renowned Wedding Entertainer, specializing in live wedding caricatures, offering a Gold standard service to around 60 brides each year. Even Amanda Holden hired George to entertain at her Hen (pyjama) Party in 2008! George still enjoyes producing digital caricatures and has an extensive gallery of Movie Posters with a twist, in his own unique minimalist graphic vector style.
