State of the Art: Illustration 100 Years after Howard Pyle

David Apatoff in Illustration Art.

Last year, the Delaware Art Museum put together a major centennial exhibition commemorating the life and work of Howard Pyle, the highly influential father of American Illustration. Pyle lived in Delaware and following his death in 1911, a group of Pyle students and friends combined with influential citizens to form the Wilmington Society of the Fine Arts. Their collection of 100 works by Pyle served as the starting point for the Delaware Art Museum.

To close out its centennial year, the Museum bravely invited me to serve as guest curator for an exhibition onThe State of Illustration 100 years after Pyle. That exhibition will run from February 8 through June 1, 2013.

New Yorker Cartoonist Jack Ziegler

Jack Ziegler's innovative blend of cartoon and comic-book conventions, often by replacing exterior captions with inset language, has inspired many a younger artist to stray even further from the time-tested grammar of the New Yorker cartoon.

"Self Plagiarism" in Cartooning

From Ted Rall (and Matt Bors).

Editorial cartooning, an artform that was invented in caves but perfected by Americans in the 20th and 21st centuries, is in crisis. There is lots of blame to go around: the declining economic fortunes of print media as it failed to adapt to digitalization, terrible editors and publishers who elevated the worst work over the best work, prize committees that did the same thing, and – this pays me to say – an old boys network of cartoonists who refused to state, much less enforce, the same basic journalistic ethics that writers and college students everywhere must adhere to.

Steve Bell's year in cartoons - video

Steve Bell takes us through drawing the same old enemies in the year of cuts, pageantry and the Leveson inquiry. He talks about David Cameron's uncanny ability to preserve himself despite being permanently haunted by 'Medusa Gorgon Brooks', the Olympics with Cameron and Osborne as deranged mascots … and why he represents the chancellor in bondage gear.

“Donkeys & Elephants” at Studio Gallery

A review by Louis Jacobson in the Washington City Paper.

Considering how much the practice of politics—and the media—has changed over the years, it’s something of a surprise to realize how resilient the art of political cartooning has been. The Studio Gallery is mounting a “celebration” of American political cartoons, which proves to be a sprawling, occasionally inspired, but slightly scattershot endeavor.

Cartoonist Dan Murphy Joins Deep Rogue Ram

From Deep Rogue Ram.

We have, friends, a string of thrilling announcements to make this January, the first of which goes like this: whiz-bang editorial cartoonist/animator Dan Murphy has joined Deep Rogue Ram as a contributor! Dan put together this week’s video, a lovely New Year’s Message from Stephen Harper:

Dan, a 29-year veteran of The Province newspaper, is perhaps best known for this video, produced in June 2012, in which gloppy piles of unwanted bitumen muck up an otherwise slick, uplifting ad for Enbridge’s proposed Northern Gateway Pipeline.
