Info about this website and me

(... and some legal bunk)

Ullo! There are lots of high quality royalty-free cartoons on this website (along with a few stinkers). You can use the pictures in any way you like - but only if they are not altered - except for resizing, which is fine.

Who am I? My name is Grea (rhymes with Thea). Born and bred in Sydney, Australia. Unlike many on the web these days, I'm not after your $$ so you can at least trust my ethics, if not my judgement.

My personal site, RIJI DIJ, is a dump for my digital art, writings etc. Its About Me page dishes a bit more dirt than I have given away here.


What's on this site? Mostly my cartoons, plus:


Why? Most professional cartoonists on the web charge for their "work". So why am I offering images that are (sometimes) used in professional contexts for free?

Is there a catch? Nope. I simply make cartoons for fun and I would like to see as many people as possible enjoying them. That's the "official" line.

Unofficially, since I'm a hopeless networker I doubt that I'll get the breaks you need to be a professional fool ... being in "the right place at the right time" doesn't happen when you live behind a keyboard. So I may as well give them away. Still, if you use any of the cartoons in a publication on on a website, it would be nice to get an email.

Of course, if you are a big editor and you're thinking "I've just gotta have this mad cow on my staff" all I can say is ... PLEASE RESCUE ME FROM THIS 9 TO 5 CORPORATE PURGATORY! (Ah, that feels better).


Rudeness alert! Apparently I'm supposed to warn you that some images could be considered obscene by some delicate little flowers. This means that sex or nudity is involved. Most things involving violence, of course, are no problem. The "offensive" cartoons have been marked with a *



Note: this is a watered-down version - the real one is more fun

Print quality: If you want print-quality TIF versions of any cartoon here, all you have to do is ask nicely. Most of the toons are fairly complete as vector images with minimal post-work, so I can easily resize them to your preferred size.

Requests: Yes, like a hoary old club act, I do requests. If you want a cartoon done on a certain topic or a certain angle, by all means drop me a line. I don't mess around; my responses are usually fast.

Cartoon links

Here are links to some cartoonists whose "work" has made me laugh:

Gary Larson - my favourite cartoonist. Daylight second. I know, I have a childish sense of humour

Michael Leunig - my next fave. Sometimes annoying but has the most brilliant moments

Randy Glasbergen - the consummate professional (so I hate him)

Chris Slane - fab NZ cartoonist with great ideas (ie. I hate him)

Bill Leak & Phil Nicholson - Australian masters of political caricatures (yes, more hostile jealousy)

Robert Crumb - Sometimes disgusting, but a superb cartoonist

Why am I plugging this product? Simple. I love it so much I would like to have its babies. I am not just saying this for a commission (although that would be nice :). No, it's more that Xara Xtreme is a great product and, unlike other programs of its style, is great value for money. The company is constantly under assault from the giant multinats and we should stick up for a "little guy" that provides such a great service.
