    Hi there Hugh,
    Yep, I think you are right!
    Twit­ter about it, ask peo­ple to see if they would agree. Collect their emails, offer it to them. I’m in!

    I love loads of your car­toons, but with some of these recent ones I’m get­ting a bit con­fu­sed. I know they’re all ‘Hugh’, but to me they seem more like deco­ra­tive dood­les, albeit with simi­lar ele­ments and in a simi­lar dra­wing style to your car­toons. Is an abs­tract car­toon a doodle, or is it art? Or both :)

    This is quite clearly a robot doing (a bad job of) the dishes. Hilarious.

    You need a mar­ke­ting out­let for these pie­ces. The soo­ner the bet­ter.

    Honestly, you don’t even need the “main stream” art mar­ket. I’m sure there are plenty of Hugh-fans that would line up for the chance to own a piece of your work.

    I’m con­fu­sed by your current loo­king to see things to the mains­tream art mar­ket — does this match your “How to be crea­tive” man­tra to sort of for­get the cri­tics, find your own niche and do what you are pas­sio­nate about?
    Is this art dri­ving your pas­sion? I guess it’s because I haven’t seen any blog pos­ting about how this makes you feel alive or how you are tap­ping into something new and thri­lling that I won­der if you are just doing it because now you have the name to really sell something (unlike most of the star­ving brethern!!!)
    I love your stuff and would love to see a gallery with your busi­ness cards — they speak to me. They show something that’s really spe­cial and “Hugh”: the com­bi­ning of art with words to speak to modern nuan­ces…
    I just won­der if you aren’t moving away from what makes you spe­cial.
    But then again, what do I know.…

    where are we left without the acer­bic, biting, dry, wit of the HUGH stra­pline, [perhaps that should be cra­pline  — and I mean that as the highest com­pli­ment] ?
    the stin­ging epithet, the twis­ted, sar­do­nic cliches of post modern BLAH BLAH BLAH, the meta­fic­tions of
    YADA YADA YADA and ‘the long tail‘ of clue­less­ness ?
    except to say if you can com­mand huge bund­les of CASH to hang these things in the
    gran­diose self con­gra­tu­la­tory ori­fi­ces and foyers of large agen­cies — great.

    Maybe, but I’d rather have some of you edge-to-edge black and white moles­kine dood­les done big first.

    I’d take a sig­ned, limited-edition lithograph!
