You may have, er, seen features and reviews in the media about the Invisible Art exhibition at the Hayward Gallery in London.
The cartoonist and Procartoonists.org member Bill Stott was so amused by the concept that he fired off a batch of gags to the South Bank gallery, despite the fact that, bar the odd show by surely-he-is-a-cartoonist-really David Shrigley, it is not generally known as an exhibitor of cartoons.
But credit is due to the Hayward, it has put them on its blog and described them as “One of our favourite responses to the ‘Invisible’ exhibition”. Could this be the start of the neglected art of cartooning making in-roads into a “proper” art gallery.

Excellent – lovely stuff, Bill.I went along to the Invisible show a few days ago and really enjoyed it. Neither po-faced nor a p*ss-take – very witty for the most part and quite thought provoking. The title ‘Invisible’ is a bit of a misnomer in some cases – ‘unvisible’ or ‘intangible’ might have been more accurate, as most (though not all) of the pieces are right there to see. But I was pleasantly surprised by it.

Excellent gags, Mr Stott.
