Well November 24th ish I was in Coffs Harbour for the Stanley Awards. It was a great weekend I got to meet up with guest of honour and cartooning big wig from the US Jim Borgman (Pulitzer Prize winning editorial cartoonist and co-creator of Zits). He's a lovely and humble guy and managed to wow him with a caricature I did of him and then, in the photo below, I accidentally felt his arse.
As a side note to the drinking and feeling of men's bits and pieces I was nominated by my peers for caricaturist of the year. The award was taken out by David Rowe (The Financial Review) and the other photo is me stealing said award.
Level of Work: Outstanding (and that's just me!).
Venue: Subtropical, but a bit 80s, all in all very nice.
Nibblies: Good at all events, even happy hour at the pub, except these weird fish cakes...not good.
Number of free drinks: As many as the waiters could carry.

The Rotary Cartoon Competition in the Bunker Gallery Coffs Harbour (I had two pieces exhibited).
