He was educated at Woodside School and studied drawing and painting at the Glasgow School of Art. He moved to London in the 1950s and began as a portrait and landscape painter, supplementing this with cartoon work. Some of his first cartoons appeared in Punch magazine in the 1950s and in Lilliput from 1959, followed by regular features in Queen magazine and Private Eye from 1961. He was a founder member of the British Cartoonist's Association in 1966.

Condition is fine.
