Jen Sorensen's RFK Journalism award photos

I forgot to get a picture of her with the bust, but here's a few shots of Jen Sorensen at the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award ceremony. She won for editorial cartooning and I was one of the five judges.

Matt Davies at Politics and Prose pictures

101_5978

Editorial cartoonist Matt Davies was at Politics and Prose, July 27, 2013 for his new children's book Ben Rides On. Here's some more pictures of him in action.

The book is short, but enjoyable. Davies did a nice chalk talk with children from the audience 'helping' him draw. He kindly let me keep his crow drawing. The Library of Congress (in the person of Sara Duke) got the caricature of his teacher.

We wish you could glimpse into our newsroom: Young D.C. was a beehive Monday. A rising senior at a small private school, taught HTML for updating www.youngdc.org to three teens from campuses east of the Anacostia River and near RFK Stadium. These four teens would otherwise never work together. Today they know working together productively overrides any differences that might interest demographers, but shouldn't inhibit cooperation. In decades to come they may share a work environment or a voting precinct with the same fine results we witnessed.
Last January, two other teens who hadn't previously met worked on stories about Supreme Court decisions that broadened, then curbed freedom of speech for teens. They met Mary Beth Tinker of Tinker v. Des Moines (1969) and a lawyer who worked on Hazelwood v. Kuhlmeier (1988).
As this week progresses, three teens are writing in the newsroom about HIV education, access to Plan B and the quality of high school fitness programs. A dozen more are working on elements of Young D.C.'s summer issue and relating their progress via email and social media.

Life Without Fossil Fuels cartoon ad in today's Washington Post

For the record, it's on page A5. Does anyone know who's drawing these?

Cartoons to see in the L.o.C.

The Library of Congress has several cartoon and comics exhibits up now.  Here's a quick overview.

101_5203 District Comics at LOC

You can buy District Comics in their gift shop in the Jefferson Building. My story on the Army Medical Museum is around page 90, wink, wink.

101_5180

Also in the Jefferson Building for another month is  "Down to Earth: Herblock and Photographers Observe the Environment" curated by Carol Johnson and Sara Duke. Carol's the photograph curator, Sara the Herblock one. I thought this was an excellent exhibit. The photographs and the cartoons really complemented each other, and the unlikely pairing made for a stronger exhibit than either alone would have.

There's a small brochure for the exhibit, although you have to get it at the Madison Building's Prints & Photographs department.


At the same location is "Herblock Looks at 1962: Fifty Years Ago in Editorial Cartoons," an exhibit curated by Sara Duke. This smaller exhibit focuses on President Kennedy.

Obviously Sara made curatorial choices to influence this in both exhibits, but it's still depressing how relevant 50-year-old cartoons are:

101_5200

The third exhibit is a small one on comic books featuring Presidents that Megan Halsband did in the Serials Department (in the Madison Building) for President's Day. The majority of these comics are from Bluewater's current biographical series, but she did find an issue of Action Comics that I don't remember seeing.

The Prints & Photographs division showed off its new acquisitions this week. Sara Duke showed some original comic book and strip artwork:

101_5173

A piece by Keith Knight, and two pages from Jim Rugg's anthology. They collected the entire book except for the centerfold. Not shown is...

101_5174

Above are voting rights prints by Lalo Alcaraz, possibly selected by Helena Zinkham.

Martha Kennedy had some great acquistions this year, including works by James Flora, editorial cartoonist Signe Wilkinson, Garry "Doonesbury" Trudeau, and Charles Vess' entire book of Ballads and Sagas:

Obama, after Kal UPDATED

 101_5044

KAL gave a great presentation at an exhibit a few days ago. He talked about his career and political cartooning for an hour and a half, and it was great fun throughout. (The drawing above was a rush job, done on vacation at a dude ranch, and colored with a children's watercolor set.)

 101_5045

At the very end of his talk, he took the audience of about 30 people through a lesson in how to draw Obama. His was better, naturally, but it's pretty amazing that he got us to draw a recognizable caricature.
The exhibit, which includes some original artwork by KAL, is open for a few more days. If you go, make sure you see the second part of the exhibit downstairs.
