CARTOONIST Neil Slorance gave the press a sneak peak of his solo exhibition at a city art gallery yesterday.
Slorance, whose work appears in The National every Saturday, has also penned strips for DC Thomson and Doctor Who, and counts the First Minister among his fans.
The Glasgow-based illustrator, who acted as live cartoonist for BBC Scotland’s General Election coverage, rose to prominence during the run-up to the independence referendum and also drew the award-winning Dungeon Fun.
Hosted by independent Scottish publisher BHP Comics, the free show opens at the Intermedia Gallery space within the influential CCA in Glasgow today and runs until Sunday.
Promoting the event, organisers said: “From indie comics to art that delighted the First Minister – and enraged UKIP’s David Coburn – take a look into Slorance’s impressive journey so far.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
