‘Barked Once’ is an anagram of ‘Derek Bacon’. You can also get ‘Debora Neck’ and, if you really want, ‘Caked Boner’. 

I’m originally from Bedfont, a little village next to Heathrow airport, but I now live in a really quiet part of the Netherlands. I’ve also lived in Poole, Madrid, Jakarta and Amsterdam.

I’ve done lots of work for magazines and things over the years. More recently, I’ve gone mad for drawing in all its forms, and I especially love doing people.

Maybe you have something you want to ask about? Feel free to get in touch.

Cheerio,
derek
