Heading to Greenwich, London, for some Christmas shopping? Don’t miss “Let it Snow” at the Duke of Greenwich pub, an exhibition of cartoons by a huge range of creators, curated by Daily Mirror cartoonist Pete Songi, who’s also a member of the Professional Cartoonists’ Organisation.
The exhibition has just opened and follows the hugely successful “Summer Lovin’” event earlier this year. Cartoonists featured include Banx, Dave Brown, Ben Chilton, Ben Jennings, Nay Cartoons, Samuel Ojo, the Radical Embroiderer, Martin Rowson, Royston, Chris Williams (“Dink”) Mark Winter (aka “Chicane”), and many, many more.
Many of the cartoons are on sale, and each entry in the exhibition has a QR code next to it, pointing potential buyers to either a website or email of the cartoonist should they want to discuss the purchase of a print.
The Professional Cartoonists’ Organisation promotes the work of its members and champions the cartooning arts across the board and around the world, including this exhibition. They organise and support exhibitions and festivals. The PCO also stand up for, and have campaigned on behalf of oppressed artists. All before breakfast.
