BILL MORRISON - IT'S ALL HUNKY-DORY IN CUMBRIA

Shipping Costs: UK-£21, US:£45, Europe:£40. Far East:£60. From Bambi to Bart Simpson and Mowgli to Moe, Bill Morrison has drawn them all, and almost everything in between. For the past few years he has spent most of his waking hours on projects related to The Simpsons, including video games, books and posters. When the Simpsons’ creator, Matt Groening, set up Bongo Comics Bill was hired as art director and realised his cartoonist’s dreams when he drew the very first Simpsons comic. With Bongo he also created his own comics, including 'Roswell - Little Green Man', which (along with the Lake District) provided the inspiration for this gorgeous picture. It is from the series of postcards specially commissioned this year by LICAF from seven leading illustrators, with the collective title, 'Wish You Were Here – Postcards from the Edge of Reality'. The cards celebrate the landscape of the Lakes and the power of comic art, each in its own unique way. Bill says, 'My characters Roswell and Julienne Fryes come from the postwar 1940’s, an era when people sent "Wish You Were Here!" postcards to their loved ones as a matter of routine whenever they went on trips. I was delighted when the festival folk asked me to participate in this reinvigoration of that vanishing tradition!' The final printed postcard is also shown on this page. Ink on paper.
