Martin Honeysett

Martin Honeysett (born in 1943 in Hereford, England) is a cartoonist and illustrator.

After studying at Croydon School of Art, he worked briefly in a London animation studio, and then spent several years abroad both in New Zealand as a lumberjack and in Canada before returning to England to work as a bus-driver for London Transport. He sold his first cartoon to the Daily Mirror in 1969 and has since contributed to Punch, Private Eye, Evening Standard, The Observer and many other magazines and newspapers.

He has illustrated several books including Sue Townsend's The Queen and I and Dick King-Smith's H.Prince, but is arguably best known for his illustrations in Ivor Cutler's poetry books Gruts, Fremsley and Life in a Scotch Sitting Room.
