Contains Male Nudity – The Privates View
August 14, 2018 in Events, General, News
Away from the Herne Bay Cartoon Festival proper was the exhibition improper ‘Contains Male Nudity’ which is still running at One New Street Gallery. PCO’s intrepid senior staff photographer Kasia Kowalska was at the ‘Privates View’ to cover events as they unfolded.
Readers are warned that some of the following content may be of an adult nature.
Cartoonists ‘low five’ outside the gallery. Left to right Royston Robertson, Dave Brown, The Surreal McCoy, Alex Hallet, Alex Hughes and Pete Dredge.
Martin Rowson in the gallery studio creating a late entry to be inserted into the exhibition.
Cartoonists Kathy Lamb & Chris Burke plus Rob Murray with Andrew Birch. All caught visiting the show.
The ‘Room of Filth’ mostly so named because of the Jeremy Banx contributions.
Cathy Simpson pointing at a genuine ancient Greek artefact.
Royston Roberston’s ‘buff envelope’ gag proved very popular (actually framed in a window envelope). Royston priced the cartoon in first class stamps (some tax avoidance scam no doubt)

And some more ‘art’ from the walls:
One of the Danny Noble strips featuring nude Ollie Reed and Alan Bates spending their lives together after their naked wrestling scene in Ken Russell’s ‘Women in Love’.
‘Agent Dale Cooper’ from the mind of Dr Julian Gravy aka Tony Horseradish.
Drawing by illustrator Ian Pollock.
‘Peter’s Penis’ strip by Andrew Birch…naturally in the ‘Room of Filth’
All photos by © Kasia Kowalska unless otherwise stated.
Thanks to Torin Brown and The Bouncing Barrel for providing the lovely cask of ale.
The exhibition continues to run at One New Street Gallery until 1st September (open Friday and Saturday or by appointment)

The main Shrewsbury International Cartoon Festival exhibition, Flights of Fancy, opens on April 4. Here is another cartoon submitted for exhibition by a Procartoonists.org member.
This is by Alex Hughes and seems appropriate on this post-Budget day. The exhibition will be held at the VAN Gallery, Shrewsbury Market Hall, and will visit other venues after the festival, including RAF Museum Cosford.
As mentioned previously here, a group of cartoonists from France will be attending the main festival weekend, April 19-22, this year. They are: Roger Thisselin (Roth), Jean-Michel Renault, Antoine Darmatoff (Jepida), Phil Umbdenstock and Emmanuel Maillard (Manu). Their exhibition French Flies (geddit?!) will be held at Theatre Severn.
