Born 1 July 1957 in Dunedin New Zealand. Moved to Salt Spring Island B.C. in 1972 after a brief time in England.

He worked at various jobs across Canada from land surveying on the northern British Columbia coast to unloading grain cars in Thunder Bay Ontario.

He entered the field of illustration in 1977 when he illustrated five children’s books, including Lucky Little Dragon, that his mother Joan had written.

He created three cartoon strips “George and Jacques” (February 1979 to April 1979, followed by “Captain Starship”, April 1979 to September 1991.

Starting about 1980 he became an editorial cartoonist for the Times-Colonist [Victoria], producing six cartoons a week. In addition, he created cartoons for magazines, government publications and annual reports. He self-syndicated for the newspaper in B.C. and was syndicated for newspapers across Canada, the U.S., Australia and New Zealand.

In the late 1980’s he was commissioned with other cartoonists Anthony Jenkins and Vance Rodewalt to do covers for CBC’s magazine Radio Guide. They were later joined by Graham Harrop, Peter Lynde, and Barbara Wood a Vancouver artist doing whimsical urbanscapes. This project continued into the late 1990’s.

In 1988, he founded an animation company to produce animated editorial cartoons for C.B.C television. Over four years this expanded to the point where he produced and directed animated shows for Turner Broadcasting and Children’s Television Workshop and adapted Jim Henson’s Muppet characters for animation. Although he left the production side of the business in 1992, he remained active in the field animating the book The Way Things Work for BBC and writing the first and second seasons for Atomic Betty.

In 1990, while still working on “Captain Starship”, he embarked on a new Sunday only colour strip called “Toulouse”. It appeared in the Times-Colonist. Over the following years it evolved into a daily strip and was renamed “The Other Coast”. In 2001 it was syndicated by Creator’s Syndicate and has appeared in more than 150 newspapers worldwide. It can still be seen on the internet.

Adrian describes it as it exists today. “Who lives on The Other Coast? Talentless television scriptwriters, rabid environmentalists (as long as what they’re saving can’t be turned into luggage), gluttons, finicky vegans, convicted embezzlers, mind-numbing bands, and assorted paranoid wackos. Along with whales, dogs, and other off-beat inhabitants of the animal kingdom, these characters bring utter absurdness to The Other Coast on a daily basis.

It’s a parody of life … sort of.”                                                                                            (The Other Coast: This Is Your Rock Garden Isn’t It? 2005: 4.)
