Bristol Cartoon Illustrator Showcases Work

(From PR-Inside.com News Alerts)













Cartoon Illustration Exhibition

Mr H (aka Jerry Holliday) will be exhibiting his illustration work with a series of small framed prints and larger Foamex pieces.

Jerry has dabbled in stylish cartoonry since the age of ten and along with Luke Fay and a group of artists published Bonafide comic magazine in the mid 90's which published the work of prominent Bristol artists such as Nick Walker and FLX.

"I grew up inspired by the old underground 60's comics and the story aspect is what is exciting to me. I try to convey a story in my work and a lot of this series of pieces has derived from stories I am writing", explains Mr H.

In recent years Jerry has been heading up freelance design and web agency Code 9 and finishing a storybook which he has printed segments from for two upcoming exhibitions.

The first on 26th-27th April 2009 is part of the Bristol Art Fringe will see a combination of open houses and exhibitions at public bars around the Montpelier area of Bristol. More details and an Art Trail Map can be downloaded from

Jerry's work will also be on show at Bristol's youngest and smallest art-gallery Room 212 (www.room212.co.uk) on the Gloucester Road in Bristol between Apr 26 - May 03.

Alan Moore's Essay: Sexism in Comics

I "borrowed" the following scans and text from mechanicaljewel at Live Journal.com. I fondly recall the comic, "The Daredevils" from which they are lifted, it featured reprint comics and new editorial and comic-strip material, notably "Captain Britain". I thought it deserved to go 'viral'. To read the text click on each scan for the larger version. Invisible Girls and Phantom Ladies: How far have we come? Back in 1983, Alan Moore wrote a 10-page article on the portrayal of women in comics and the presence/lack thereof of female creators. It was serialized in Marvel UK's The Daredevils #4-6.

Jack Kirby Art UK premiere

The original artwork for this pin up was presented to Mark Haynes as first prize for winning "Marvel Mastermind UK 1976". This version is scanned from the back page of the UK weekly "Super Spider-man and the Titans" issue number 217 cover dated April 6th 1977 but on sale from 30th March 1977. The image was used again over a year later but in black and white line only as the "British Feature Page" in F.O.O.M magazine 19. The information accompanying this piece in the U.S, Hardback collection "The Birth of a Hero" is incomplete and inaccurate and the reproduction of the artwork inferior. This version has been "cleaned up" by me using Photoshop. Characters and Image is copyrighted by Marvel Entertainment and Subs.
