Le Barbe Della Rivoluzione

At the Piazza Garibaldi, high on the Janiculum Hill of Rome, is a gathering of busts commemorating the martyrs of the struggle for Italian statehood. And their magnificent beards. One mild September morning, I drew them.

These bust-sketches have been collected into a book, titled ‘Le Barbe Della Rivoluzione’ (The Beards of the Revolution), and a very very limited run of 24 printed. There will never be any further print runs. If you want to get your hands on a copy, get in touch asap, as I’m selling 15 only, for £9.99 each.

I have also created a poster featuring these handsome sketches, which is available for £15.99, and looks a little bit like this (but glossy and A1-sized):

Shrewsbury Cartoon Festival

Here’s a message to anyone who is:

a) near Shrewsbury next weekend, or

b) interested in cartooning, or

c) both, or

d) neither.

Come and join in the fun at the annual Shrewsbury Cartoon Festival!

I’m one of the many cartoonists taking part in the weekend’s cartoony events.  I will be mostly ‘Reverse Caricaturing’, which is a process far far too complicated and technical to explain here*, but the results of which I’ll hopefully post here after the event.

*not really. Here are some pics of my cartoonist buddies Wilbur Dawbarn and Royston Robertson having a go.

A set containing all six postcards costs £5, with 50p from each order going to support sustainability projects in South Wales. Get in touch, or use the nifty button below to purchase through PayPal.

Finally, my work has been accepted in the highest pantheon of artistic and cultural importance. The Royal Academy Exhibition? The Turner Prize?

Here’s my addition to the impressive collection – have a browse of the other crazy contributions by illustrators and artists from all over the world.

Me Time.

This cartoon took way too long to draw. I’m relieved to say that the effort paid off, as it’s finally been published, in the current issue of the Oldie magazine. Though a copy has been stuck on the door of my wife’s study for about a year…which may or may not be a good thing.

blinkin flamingos. My photoshop ran out of pink pixels.
