Gauld is best known for his comic books
Goliath and
Mooncop as well as his collections of one-page cartoons. He has also authored a number of smaller-scale books such as
Guardians of the Kingdom,
Robots, Monsters etc.,
Hunter and Painter and his cartoon
Move to the City, which ran weekly in
London's Time Out in 2001–2002. Gauld studied illustration at
Edinburgh College of Art, where he first started to draw comics "seriously", which they started in 2001. (The two volumes were subsequently published together by
Bloomsbury Publishing in 2003, as
Both.) As part of commercial projects, Gauld has done some animation work; in an interview, he commented that "Comics are a lot of work but animation ... was too much."
