I continue
to work freelance for various magazines, and still
self-publish my work in comic books which are
available at art galleries, independent record
shops and bookshops across the country.

| A Brief
History of Bestselling Cartoonist James Parsons |
|
|
| After graduating from
Sussex University with a degree in English Literature, I self-published
my first satirical comic, This is Me by George Bush in
October 2001. It proved very popular, and was accompanied by
an equally successful animated website. |
| Before long I was lucky enough to have two
mainstream, bestselling humorous books published by Simon and
Schuster. I have since sold over 80,000 copies of my books and
comics around the world. |
| My work has been translated into Dutch, French
and Spanish, and sold in 35 countries. |
| I have completed major cartooning commissions
for Greenpeace, The National Union Of Students,
Don't Panic!, the BBC and various record labels.
Cartoons and illustrations have appeared in dozens of publications:
Dazed and Confused, The Daily Mirror, Independent
on Sunday, The Observer, Les Inrockuptibles,
Bizarre, Bulb, The Face, Maxim,
Arena, The New Statesman, Zero Tolerance,
Rock Sound, The Source, Varroom, La
Vanguardia, El Pais and many more European broadsheets
and national magazines. |

Some reviews of my work:
|
|
"A fascinating insight
into the presidential psyche… A simple, highly
effective and also very funny visual satirical
masterpiece" The Independent
|
|
"Genuinely topical and
very amusing… Full of malicious joy. The
book is deeply politically incorrect on one level,
but so very correct on others" The Observer
|
|
"Book of the year"
Bizarre Magazine
