preparing for my seminars tomorrow, quite by accident i stumbled across the charming flickr portfolio of a british cartoonist who goes by the name of tom gauld. his work has already been picked up by the guardian and recently he has also illustrated a book sleeve for a publication about british history. especially the comic strips concerned with literature, british history and critical theory tickled my funny bone.

behind the cut, find a few examples that i liked best of his portfolio. but make sure to check out the rest of his work either here on tom's website or on his flickr account.

my favourite, though, is his poster of generic characters from epic stories. you can actually purchase this one from tom's website --once he has returned from his christmas holidays and produced the reprints. the last set has already sold out.

the image is clickable and leads you directly to his web shop.
