About the Business
Ian is a professional Artist based in Essex. Drawing has been an interest of his since childhood. Partly influenced by his Grandfather and Great Grandfather (and his brother - George Burchett aka "King of Tattooist"), all of whom were also professional artists. Ian started work in 1979 BC (Before Computers!) as a draughtsman. His career has always involved drawing and in 1999 he "took the plunge" and became a self-employed artist. It was in that year he had his first cartoons published in a London newspaper. The caricature part of his business initially involved just drawing people from photos sent in the post but after being asked several times to do parties he eventually decide to give it a go. After a period of intensive self-training he became quick enough to draw his "cartoon portrait" style caricatures in 5 minutes (or less!) and so started doing them "LIVE" in 2000.
