BILL HAS A DEGREE in Fine Art, Painting and Printmaking and a post graduate teaching degree. Due to a typographical error, he is also a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.

During teaching in and around Liverpool, the funniest city in the whole of Merseyside, he began a parallel career as a cartoonist and was first published in Punch in the late 70s – an association which lasted up to the magazine’s sad demise some 20 years later.

In that time he has worked [and works] for a very wide variety of publications including the Times Educational Supplement, with Libby Purves – Private Eye [when Mr Hislop’s on holiday], major publishers such as Collins and Emap, educational publishers, and celebrated specialist mags like “Classic Plant and Machinery” [honest]. He’s also a regular in the motoring press. Much of his work is editorial – illustrating magazine and newspaper articles. He’s fast and accurate.

He has his own ongoing range of cartoon books and calendars via Helen Exley Gift Books looking at the absurdities of Golf Soccer Rugby, Marriage, Sex, Cats, Mobile phones, Computers, Over 30s, 40s, 50s, and beyond. He also produces calendars for Moments Calendars and Diaries.

Because of his deep practical knowledge of teaching and the challenges of education generally, and the fact that underneath and despite government initiatives and buzz words, schools can be very funny, he is also able to offer unique after dinner presentations which feature at least 25 – 30 big on the spot cartoons. He is a regular on the Educational Conference circuit. He also speaks [and draws] at non-educational functions.
