Tommy Sommerville, pen name Somme, is a resident caricaturist at the Scottish Cartoon Art Studio in Glasgow, celebrating ten years in business in 2009. He is the creator of the Fizzers concept; highly rendered caricatures of famous Scots in a European style, for which the Studio is most well known. In the nineties he was familar to cartoon enthusiasts for his co-creation and editing of the (in)famous humour comic Electric Soup and co-founding the Scottish Cartoonists' & Comic Artist Members (SCCAM) Club. Through both SCCAM and the Studio, Tommy has taken the lead in exhibitions of cartoon artwork that have travelled as far afield as Zagreb, Croatia and Jonzac & St.Just-le-Martel, France. Today he specialises in both gift caricatures (suitable for presentation at special occasions such as birthdays, retirements and weddings) and live caricature (another favourite at weddings, but also as corporate entertainment for some of the biggest companies in the country).
This site features pages dedicated to both the Fizzers exhibitions and books (the first volume is available now from Mercat Press), his days on Electric Soup, the SCCAM Club and his most up-to-date work.
