Posted In: News and views

EggheadsAs mentioned previously I recently (er, back in January) recorded an episode of the TV quiz Eggheads. Well, tonight’s the night! Tune in at 6pm on BBC2 tonight to see me captain the Cartoonists team of Robert Duncan, Graham Fowell, Royston Robertson and Martin Rowson to victory/defeat*

*delete as applicable. Sorry, you’ll have to watch for the result!

Eggheads update…

eggheads-400x257As I may have alluded to in another post earlier this year, in February I participated in an episode of the BBC quiz Eggheads, as captain of the Cartoonists team. Well, we’ve finally been given a broadcast date – Tuesday 13th October. That’s right, only three months away… and of course, I still can’t tell you how we did. Read the rest of this entry…

p1000236As previously mentioned, last weekend was Shrewsbury International Cartoon Festival, and what an event it was! Luckily, the predicted storms failed to materialise (aside from a brief shower early on Saturday morning), and the sun shone throughout.  Myself,  Matt Buck and Royston Robertson were there to blog and twitter for thebloghorn.org, the blog of the Professional Cartoonists’ Organisation.

Have I Got Shrews for You

17th April 2009 | by Alex
Posted In: News and views

The KissIt’s that time of year again… cartoonists from all over the country (and the world) will be converging in Shropshire  next week for the Shrewsbury International Cartoon Festival. Despite my small triumph last year when I sold a cartoon – The Kiss – in one of the exhibitions, I’m not on the ‘official’ list. I will be busy though, as, along with Matt Buck and Royston Robertson, I’ll be blogging for Bloghorn, the blog of the Professional Cartoonists’ Organisation. Highlights include exhibitions by Steve Bell from the Guardian, Kate Charlesworth from New Scientist and a collection of science cartoons curated by Professor Colin Pillinger (of Mars explorer Beagle 2 fame), all in keeping with this year’s theme of Science – in tribute to the 200th anniversary of the birth of local boy Charles Darwin.

There’s been a bit of a dearth of new posts here recently, so I thought I’d add a quick round-up. Basically, I’ve been a bit all over the place recently… Read the rest of this entry…
