Cartoonist Tim Banfell

I'm Tim Banfell. I've drawn cartoons since I was a kid and still doing as a professional Cartoonist for 48 years. Along with traveling the Gulf Coast doing Caricatures, I have a self-syndicated comic strip called "Wrong Key" and I've illustrated a series of

7 children's books entitled "The Swamp Kids".

Here are a couple of famous Caricatures

that hang in my office.

I drew my very first caricature at the

age of 13. It was of my hero, comedian

BOB HOPE.

I was fortunate enough to meet "Uncle Bob"

and he was kind enough to compliment

and autograph my caricature.

It's not every day you get to meet a legend!

Actor / Comedian and Bluegrass Banjo Virtuoso Steve Martin performed at the 2010 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival with The Steep Canyon Rangers.

Thanks to Graham Sharp (SCR Banjo lead) I was given the opportunity to go back stage and meet Steve where he was kind enough to autograph a Caricature I did of him.
