Each edition since December 2000 to January 2007, Haddon’s ‘ Welcome To… ‘ pen and watercolour drawings of people and places featured in the centre spread of the RACV magazine RoyalAuto, ( usually from somewhere in Victoria, but occasionally interstate – from the poignancy of Port Arthur to Noosa, where life’s a beach).
"In his drawings Haddon captures the essence of contemporary Victoria and its citizens. He’s a social historian, reflecting and illuminating the diverse lifestyles of Victorians in a context that, while amusing, has credibility. His architectural drawings for example, have integrity.”
John Hall, publisher and managing editor, RoyalAuto, September 2006
