Political cartoonist and frequent collaborator with Paul Stewart, Chris Riddell has an exhibition of his Observer cartoons coming up at the Guardian Newsroom (60 Farringdon Road, London) from Friday 1st of February to Friday 11th April. In addition to his work for the Guardian’s Sunday sister publication The Observer the exhibition will include some of Chris’s Antrobus and The Sleep of Reason strips. The exhibition runs daily from 10am to 5pm, Monday to Friday and 12pm to 4pm on Saturdays (except bank holiday weekends); entry is free and they are even offering a free, full-colour catalogue to accompany the exhibition, which is pretty generous. The Guardian’s website has a small online gallery of some of Chris’s cartoons you can check out here. (link via Yatterings)
