My name is Jerm and I am a cartoonist.
I began my cartoon career after leaving my boring corporate job in late 2005. I have no formal training.
I have been fortunate enough to receive a few awards and accolades:
– 2011 Vodacom Journalist Of The Year (regional and national)
– Mail & Guardian Top 200 Young South Africans, 2012
– The Media Magazine Top 40 Under 40, 2013
– Men’s Health Most Inspirational Men, 2014
– Standard Bank Sikuvile Journalism Awards, 2014
My work has appeared in the Sunday Times, The Star, City Press, Rapport, Beeld, The Times, FHM, Playboy, Rolling Stone, TIME, Daily Maverick, The New Age, Cosmopolitan, EWN, eNCA, company newsletters and presentations, and others.
My work has also appeared in Belgian, Spanish, Dutch, and Indian publications.
Penguin Books published my first collection during 2013, and published my second collection during 2014.
My real name is Jeremy Nell, and I live in the northern suburbs of Cape Town.
