Honeysett, Martin (b. 1943) Cartoonist and illustrator. Born in Hereford on 20 May 1943, Martin Honeysett attended Selhurst Grammar School, where he was taught art by Geoffrey Dickinson, and Croydon School of Art (1960-1). He then worked briefly in a London animation studio and in a factory in Manchester before emigrating to New Zealand (1962-5), where he had a variety of jobs, from lumberjack to stage hand for New Zealand Ballet Co. After a further period in Canada (1965-8), he returned to England to work as a bus driver for London Transport whilst cartooning in his spare time. He sold his first cartoon to the Daily Mirror in May 1969 and turned full time freelance in 1972, contributing to Punch (from 1970), Private Eye, Daily Mirror, Evening Standard, TV Times, Radio Times, Observer and Sunday Telegraph. Honeysett's spidery style of drawing emphasizes his often macabre sense of humour.
