THE COMPETITION

O ne of the world's largest international cartoon competitions, the Polish Satyrykon festival, won me a special award in 1994. Out of roughly 2,000 entries, eleven cartoons were awarded prizes. The award ceremony took place in Legnica, Poland. The organizers received 1,724 works from 377 artists in 42 countries. The jury qualified 264 works from 144 artists to the post-competition exhibition. The award ceremony was really nice. I got to meet a great many cartoonists from around the world, including Czech cartoonist Jirí Slíva who was also a member of the jury, and who took me back to Prague by car on my way home, only to invite me with his family and to show me around in his wonderful art studio in the center of town. Thanks, Jirí!		My award-winning entry showing a black sheep casting a wolf's shadow You can purchase the winning entry as a lino print serigraphy.
