Welcome to New York Cartoons!

Illustrated stories about city life from a New Yorker Cartoonist & Comedian

👋 Hi, I’m Jason.

I’m a New Yorker cartoonist, author, and stand-up comedian originally from Perth, Australia. I’ve lived in Manhattan for 9 years, which doesn’t yet make me a ‘real’ New Yorker. It does, however, mean my diary is full of crazy stories I haven’t shared with anyone. Yet.

Each week you’ll get a cartoon in your inbox, some new stories about the insanity of my life in New York, Some recommendations of people you might like, a peek at the pages of my sketchbook, and a new picture of my Frenchie, Morris. I hope you enjoy it.

If you want some extras, you can always upgrade.

When I thought I was going to die in the pandemic, I figured I might start drawing up some of the days and posting them all in one place: Thoughts, stories, observations, rejected cartoons, ideas, travel tales, creative advice, terrible comedy gigs, wins, and disasters— the whole nine!

These stories may not be in any particular order.
Some of them will be quite long.
Some short.
Some= will be made using…

…and sometimes I’ll only be able to make them using…

I’m not making these for anyone in particular, but if you do enjoy them (and share them with someone who might also enjoy them) I’ll be glad.
