Cathy’s Cartoons

We are very lucky to have Cathy Wilcox drawing her hilarious illustrations for the Flat Chat column in the Domain section of the SMH. Legend has it her work appears on noticeboards all over NSW when we touch on problems those buildings are having.

If you’d like to buy a copy of one of Cathy’s cartoons (maybe to frame for your EC meeting room) go to her website HERE and have a look around.
