Morten Morland on Satirizing the Information
"The job of a cartoonist," says Morten Morland, "is to convey a complicated story with as few words as possible." The ultimate goal is to do this purely visually. So what you are going for are cartoons with no balloons, titles, or even labels if you can help. "
For nearly two decades, the prolific creative has shared his satirical political commentary with The Times readers and produced striking covers for viewers. Morland's extensive client list includes the biggest names in television, advertising and publishing. However, through his wit and skillfully drawn political cartoons, he has created some of the most iconic images of our time. "What he draws can better summarize politics than what I could write in 2,000 words," reflects Morland's Spectator editor Fraser Nelson. "His art captures our time."
