Such imagination Lewis you have certainly captured a wonderful character. I just hope he doesn't knock at my door this morning.☺️

Superb character and artwork Lew.

Excellent character Lewis. I’m thinking Terry Pratchett’s Going Postal

Thanks for your comments. I suppose all the news about postal strikes put postman in my mind when I was thinking what to draw. I know that book Martin, one of my favorites among Terry Pratchett's work.

I used to have a friend at Primary School, who's been drawing cartoon movie's heroes with easy, from his mind!? I can not, therefore I was amazed how come he can? I remember Fred Flinston ;) Well, my friend was drawing it with no effort whatsoever... I was struggling to make it right even while watching them on tele... Your artwork amazes me, because you reminds me that impression from my childhood a lot - drawing subjects effortlessly ;)

Love it Lewis down to the arthritic hands.

Oh just brilliant Lewis, what a character and all those lovely details to scrutinise, superb.

I think I can see my Christmas card in his sack Lewis! Love the candle idea, you could market that. I hope he gets a new pair of matching stockings for Christmas. Brilliant done.

Have to draw something. A fantasy postman.

About the Artist

Lewis Cooper

Self taught. Love drawing. Like to make pictures up, without using reference pics, often in cartoon style. I do other pictures where I do use reference. I'm knocking on a bit, born in 1940 in Greenwich, London. Retired, and loving it.
