See work in the caricature portfolio and illustration portfolio. HI-res scans can be emailed for agency presentations, or you can get in touch to arrange a portfolio visit. You could also commission a caricature as a gift.

For the past 10 years Jonathan has illustrated many prominent magazines and advertising campaigns, including a weekly tv column caricature in The Times and extensive work for the Radio Times (60 issues to date). His illustrations have been used in ad campaigns for Virgin Money (watch some of the finished online ads here) and Highland Park Whisky, as well as being animated for Cadbury Coronation Street sponsorship on TV. Corporate clients include Unilever and Swiftcover insurance. The QI 2010 'G' Annual (with Cusick cover illustrations) is now available in shops (and online here).

His work has been exhibited in the BP Portrait Award at the National Portrait Gallery, the Royal Society of Portrait Painters at the Mall Galleries, the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists, and the Shire Hall gallery, Stafford. A solo exhibition was held at the Coningsby Gallery, London, in 2005. Those of you who missed it can take a virtual walk around here.

His work has won a number of illustration and cartoon awards. During his art education, in 1995, Jonathan was awarded the British Cartoonist’s Association and The Times Young Cartoonist of the Year (Under 30), being given the overall award despite his entry in the under 18 category. In 1998 this was followed by a British Design and Art Direction (D&AD) Student Award (Illustration) and in 1999 the Association of Illustrators Student Award. In November 2007 he was given the Cartoon Art Trust Award for Caricature. He has judged and regularly appeared in the AOI’s 'Images' illustration annuals.

He also attended the Prince of Wales’ Drawing Studio in Shoreditch (see the portraits section), where he met the Prince. 'Remarkable' was the enthusiastic response, but there's no word on the Knighthood yet.


The late DJ John Peel, Antique eccentric David Dickinson, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Sir Michael Parkinson, Raymond Blanc, Heston Blumenthal, Comedian Ben Miller, and Queen legend Brian May have all purchased original caricatures of themselves.

Jonathan has also made appearances on BBC Radio 4's Midweek with Libby Purves, BBC Radio WM, and ''Noel's And the Winner is...' (BBC1). In September 2002 the Sunday Times Magazine featured him as one to watch out for.
