Gary graduated from Harrow College (University of Westminster) with a degree in Illustration in 1992. After discovering the hidden world of small press comics, he took the plunge with his own comics creating various titles such as "Great!", "Little Box of Comics" and "Stupidmonsters".

In 2002 he acquired the position of in-house illustrator at Eaglemoss Publications, where he worked for five years on projects such as Horrible Histories, Horrible Science and The Magical World Of Roald Dahl. From February 2004 his strip Derek The Sheep started appearing regularly in the Beano. Derek is the Beano's first and only creator-owned property. In 2008 a collection of Derek the Sheep stories was published by Bloomsbury and in France as Norbert Le Mouton, by L'edition de L'an 2.
Gary has drawn popular comic strips for many publications including The Dandy, National Geographic Kids and The DFC and has illustrated the children's book Henry VIII Has To Choose, for Franklin Watts.

Gary has a new publication due to be published by Walker Books in 2013.
