In Peter Duggan's redrawing of art history, he imagines how MI6 might have responded to the CIA's real-life decision in the 1950s to secretly promote abstract expressionists during the fight against communism. I find his stuff seems to be hit and miss, if he put a lot more effort into the art work its stuff it could be pretty good. Quite ironic redrawing of art history series where the drawings itself isn't good.

prefect posted:It says "thanks to Ling" at the bottom. Is this one of those homages to some famous painting? Trying to work out if its the Artist, which Artist. A lot artists with surnames as Ling. Closest I could find was Simon Ling. Titled "We'll always have eggs" was made in 2001, oil on canvas. His bio is Here. I can not work out if its all oil on canvas (if so he is insanely good at doing realism), or he put stuff on top of it, or he took a photo and then painted over the photo, however it could be that he is painting over the jacket and motherboards and such and calling them his 'canvas', gotta love post modernism . I really do not know never heard of Simon Ling. Might not be Simon Ling but first artist that came up which had a kind of link. Some of his other stuff. Meat or Veg, 2001, oil on canvas. Gravity's Garden, 2003, Oil on canvas. Also BBC says a little thing of 3 of his paintings (well 1 and they seem to have forgot to add the other 2... lol) http://www.bbc.co.uk/arts/yourpaintings/artists/simon-ling/paintings/slideshow Please correct me if I'm way off.

Usually when Bell/Rowson do a pastiche of some artwork they'll put 'after Delacroix/Monet/Rolf Harris etc' but they'll sometimes put 'thanks to Bill/Ben/other flowerpot men etc' which I assume is a friend who gave them the idea for a joke or cartoon.

If anyone hasn't seen Rude Britannia, its worth checking out. 3 Episodes, 1 hour each. Here is some clips from it. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00srf2d A History Most Satirical, Bawdy, Lewd and Offensive (Part1) posted:In the early 18th century, Georgian Britain was a nation openly, gloriously and often shockingly rude. This was found in the graphic art of Hogarth, Gillray, Rowlandson and George Cruikshank, and the rude theatrical world of John Gay and Henry Fielding. Singer Lucie Skeaping helps show the Georgian taste for lewd and bawdy ballads, and there is a dip into the literary tradition of rude words via the poetry of Alexander Pope, Jonathan Swift and Lord Byron, and Laurence Sterne's novel Tristram Shandy. A History Most Satirical, Bawdy, Lewd and Offensive (Part2) posted:A popular culture of rudeness managed to survive and even thrive in the long era of Victorian values, from the coronation of Queen Victoria in 1837 until the 1950s. The arrival of photography in the Victorian age sparked a moral panic, as rude and saucy images became available to anyone who had the money to buy them. You Never Had It So Rude (Part3) posted:The final part of a series exploring British traditions of satire and bawdy humour brings the story of a naughty nation up to date and explores how a mass democracy of rude emerged, beginning with the 1960s revolutions and continuing with the today's controversies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0T56-ibBQZ4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPckjH6uj3g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLUPtWpByaU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzqQR-18e80 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FDsVsQHnOA Fluo fucked around with this message at 01:02 on Dec 28, 2012 |

He's been knocking out brilliant cartoons for over 40 years and unlike many he hasn't declined with age. The stuff Keyes does for the Irish Mail is boring, but he's usually pretty sharp in the Eye. He did one recently that was "Taliban-approved headgear for girls", showing a girl in a hospital bed with bloody bandages wrapped round her face.

Yeah, its still one of the better ones compared to the ones with 4 labels. However it really doesn't need it, I never understand why political cartoonists think it needs it. Only reason I can think of is they think the readers are dumber then they are? I understand why some do it because the stuff they draw look nothing like it. However with Riddell and such its depressing as they should know better. Fluo fucked around with this message at 19:13 on Dec 29, 2012 |

The best cartoon in Private Eye is Dave Snooty and His (New) Friends, which is just a stream of bad puns in true keeping with the spirit of the Beano. The second best is Scene & Heard, which isn't really a political cartoon in the usual sense. It's more a bit of illustrated journalism, where the cartoonist takes an issue of the day, like squatting, and captures an inside perspective with quotes and sketches. http://pourlafrime.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/goodbye-summer-charlie-hebdo-reportage.html is an example of the kind of thing, although this exact one didn't appear in Private Eye.

Torygraph: He sure is the cartoonist of the year......... ! Independent: Daily : Seems to have done the 'best of MAC' since its end of year. This is what they picked. (One for each month). JANUARY: Drugs offence guidelines suggest lighter sentencing for 'social dealers' who buy drugs to share with friends. FEBRUARY: Former International Monetary Fund boss Dominique Strauss-Kahn is arrested and quizzed about procuring prostitutes for orgies. MARCH: The Environment Agency warns of widespread drought conditions if Britain's dry weather continues. APRIL: London-based Muslim cleric Abu Hamza fights extradition to the U.S. to face terrorism charges. MAY: Surface-to-air missiles are to be situated on the roofs of private flats in East London during the Olympics. JUNE: A historic strike by doctors and surgeons over pension reforms could mean that thousands of operations will be postponed. JULY: Athletes start arriving to compete in the London 2012 Olympics as Britain suffers interminable torrential downpours. AUGUST: Cycling fever grips Britain after Bradley Wiggins's triumph in the Tour de France and gold medal at the London Olympics. SEPTEMBER: Prince Andrew abseils down Europe's tallest building, the Shard in the City of London, to raise money for charity. OCTOBER: British forests face an 'unprecedented' threat from a deadly disease that affects ash trees.

Well, that's kind of the point of saying there was too much hash in it. Mac basically wants to be Carl Giles, and Giles was always fairly inoffensive and a little bland. Where Mac falls down is that he's not as good at portraying characters - and of course, he is more open about his objectionable opinions.
