Mark Nesbitt is an award winning Irish cartoonist and caricaturist who has worked under the pen name of 'Luke Warm' since 1990.
He originally trained as a civil engineer and it was while working on water projects in Botswana that he had his first major break with the publication of his social and political strip 'Fence Sittin' by Luke Warm' which ran weekly for over 2 years in Mmegi newspaper and was the joint winner of the 1991 Botswana Press Trust award.
In 1992 he moved to London, kept on the Luke Warm pen name and over the next ten years built up a body of cartoon and illustration work with the Financial Times, The Irish Times, The Press Association, the Times Higher Education Supplement and the Evening Standard amongst many others.
He moved to Devon in 2003 and since then, based in his purpose built studio, now mainly works as a caricaturist throughout the south west - in fact even as far south west as the Caribbean for P&O Cruises!
Caricatures by Luke Warm won the Best Entertainment Award at the West Country Wedding Awards in 2009, 2010 & 2011 and has also been shortlisted for both the 2009 & 2010 Service Excellence Award by the Federation of Small Businesses.
