Paul, who has lived in the city for several years, will begin to use Salisbury in the upcoming weeks to get inspiration for the cartoon strips.

This comes after his recent success of his screening of SAFFRON at the Everyman Theatre - a six part series of five minute episodes, created from a two day shoot of over 1000 photos.

The series was promised a television screening of his series, but it was never shown.
