Welcome to Diagram Club
Hello everyone, and welcome to Diagram Club.
Diagram Club is now the name of my cartoon newsletter.
A bit about me in case you’ve stumbled in: I’m a cartoonist from south Essex, UK. I’ve been drawing cartoons professionally since 2005, for a range of clients, including Cycling UK, Church Times, Greenpeace, the Guardian Online and too many others to name. I’m the author of various books, including ‘From A to B’, my hand-drawn manifesto for pedal-powered transport, published by Bloomsbury.
A bit about what you can expect from Diagram Club. I’m aiming for a newsletter once a week, when I can. The newsletter will contain a variety of regular features, which will hopefully develop as we go on. I’m aiming for it to be fun, and interesting, and whatever else people would like from a cartoon-based newsletter. But at the core there will be new and existing diagrams on the following topics:
One. Diagrams about current events. A sample:
Two. Diagrams about cycling and sustainable transport:
Three. Diagrams about everyday life (a new development on that front shortly):
I’ll be sharing fully-completed work, sketches, scribbles, new drawings, diagrams from the archives, misc nonsense, and other bits and pieces.
You can join Diagram Club for free using the following button:
Diagram Club Paid
For those who’d like a bit more, and feel able to do so, there will also be a paid version, Diagram Club Paid, which gives you a kind of a back-stage pass.
Features of Diagram Club Paid include:
You’re helping fund new work.
You’ll receive extra content - a view behind the scenes, updates about what I’m working on, and suchlike.
The right to reuse my work, found in the Diagram Library. You can print it, and you can use it online with a credit. In particular this is ideal for those involved in cycle campaigning, but there’s cartoons on lots of other topics too.
You’ll also be able to join the community: Comments and chat are reserved for Diagram Club Paid members.
Other benefits are entirely possible as I learn about Substack and what it does.
I hope you enjoy being part of Diagram Club.
Here’s a big ol’ Subscribe button, if you haven’t already. If you have, I’ve no idea what you’ll see - I’m still learning the ropes.
App
Every new post is sent directly to your email inbox. But also there’s also an app, where you’ll find my posts and notes, and for Paid members the ability to post and read comments. And that kind of thing. I know, you knew that already. Get the Substack app.
