Matthew English
MA Communication Design
I am a cartoonist, illustrator and history graduate. Under the name Moz, my cartoons have appeared in magazines such as Private Eye, The Week and Prospect; as greetings cards for Scribbler; and for other publications and businesses. My cartoons often comment on our relationship with modern technology. I produce traditional single frame gag cartoons, strip cartoons and larger scale reportage drawings of people and crowds. I was a founder member of the sonic arts collective ‘Eastern Ear’ and play in bands and other musical groups.
My MA in Communication Design has pushed me into other areas such as graphic novels, interactive fiction and game design. This has given me new ways to use cartoons to comment on modern life. I intend to pursue these after the MA and continue with some of the projects I have started on the course, particularly those related to game design.
