About Bryn Parry Studios

	Bryn Bryn has been cartooning full time since 1985 when he decided to leave the army and turn my hobby into a new career. He had no formal training but always enjoyed drawing and was asked to paint a picture that was used as my Regimental Christmas Card in 1983. That was followed by several pictures for the Australian army which were well received and led him to think that he might be able to try painting full time. He resigned his commission in the Royal Green Jackets and came home from teaching jungle warfare in Queensland to a very uncertain future. Initially, Emma and Bryn set up a small picture framing business in Wiltshire and he began to obtain caricature commissions.  The first one was from his former Regiment but it was not long before he had work from Lloyds of London and had produced a cartoon of David Gower, then the captain of the England cricket team. In 1989 they came up with the idea of the cartoon frame, a high quality walnut frame with cartoons printed on the mount and for the next ten years they developed the range of products. Their frames and clocks were sold through shops all over the world from Hong Kong to California and thye even supplied the White House in 1993. Towards the end of the Nineties he changed the emphasis of the business from frames to other products with more 'cartoony' designs and in 2000 his first book, 'Mad Dogs and Englishmen' was published by Swan Hill Press and became a best selling country sports book. Since then it has been followed with seven more books with the latest, Dog Training with Mr Perks was successfully launched on 28th July.
