Paul Harvey

Paul (Harv) Harvey has that infuriating but awe-inspiring knack of being able to draw instantly recognisable caricatures of some of our greatest sports stars.

To call him a caricaturist, however, is to sell him short because he adapts his style to suit the medium and the occasion, whether its illustrating childrens books, conducting corporate presentations, designing company logos or painstakingly creating Brownlow certificates.

Harv doesnt draw in some rarefied vacuum. He has a vast knowledge of football history, and he understands and acknowledges the debt of those great cartoonists who came before him.
