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.”
