A selection of my cartoons
Selection of my cartoons across the years. I’ll start with my collection of Covid 19 cartoons, from 2021 when most of us trusted the government advice even if we thought it odd. These are mixed media, hand drawn on a tablet and sometimes using my photography (for example the sea scape in “Don’t sink the NHS” was taken of the Irish Sea from Blackpool tower on a rainy day), and then completed digitally in Photoshop. My photography is here.
This is after a woodcut by Thomas Bewick (1753 - 1828), a wood engraver, naturalist and artist who lived close to where I do now in Northumberland, in the far north of England. This is the original:
Another influenced by a classic historical cartoon. I studied political cartoons for my art history undergrad degree. The original “The European Balance of Power” by Daumier in 1867.
Some political cartoons:
After Dennis Stock’s 1955 photo of James Dean in Times Square
Anti-feminist and female intrasexual competition cartoons
