My name is AP Potting Jr.
I am an illustrator and writer of funny stories with creatures.
I tell, in words and pictures, the comedic back story of creature’s ordinary lives. The plots of which are teased out from the dark recesses of my confused and addled mind somehow, usually without the need of a hammer. I cannot really explain the process but here is some explanation of the influencing factors.
As a child I grew up the surreal comedy of Monty Python, which is in my DNA, along with other great British comedians and actors such as Black Adder, Ronnie Barker, Peter Cook, Chris Morris and Les Dawson. Some of the names will be familiar worldwide I’m sure but most are particularly British and eccentrically so.
I was also slightly obsessed with the work of British character actors of the 50’s and 60’s, especially the comedic ones such as the brilliant Scottish actor Alastair Sim. I love subtle, and not so subtle, darkly comedic characters.
