Movillustration – Halfway there!

I've reached the halfway point with my Movillustration project to raise money and awareness for Prostate Cancer UK by drawing a different moustachioed man every day for the whole month of November... and I must admit I'm starting to get a little bit tired! But I still have plenty of moustaches to keep me going until the end of the month. Here's an update since the last time I posted on here, and if you want to keep up to date with my daily drawings then you can follow my Movillustration Tumblr blog here: http://movillustrations.tumblr.com/



Fifteen down, fifteen to go! If you want to sponsor me for my ridiculous efforts and donate some money to Prostate Cancer UK, then you can visit my Just Giving page here: http://www.justgiving.com/movillustration

Asterix and the Taxman

I read a news article online today that Albert Uderzo – one of the creators of Asterix the Gaul – is being ordered to pay €203,000 (£171,000) in unpaid tax on the 24 Asterix comic books he and the late René Goscinny produced between 1959 and 1979.

Despite their publishing contract stating that while Uderzo signed off the drawings and Goscinny the texts, they were both recognised as the author, the French tax office is claiming that Uderzo was not entitled to claim tax breaks available only to "people who have participated in writing the texts of the comic strip".

I decided to do a drawing of how Asterix's friend Obelix might have dealt with the situation...
