Peter Arkle News Issue Number 56
Peter Arkle, New York, New York, 2009
Description
Peter Arkle News is packed with illustrated stories of everyday life presented in the format of something resembling a hand-drawn, hand-lettered version of a tabloid newspaper. The stories are not dramatic or sensational (or at least not usually) but they are all true.
Partly inspired by imaginary newspapers Peter Arkle used to make when he was a kid (with typing help from his older brother Chris); partly inspired by the sensational headlines of newspapers like London’s Evening Standard and The Sun; and partly just a way of doing something with the things that Peter writes and draws in his notebooks, “so they don’t just lie there gathering dust on a shelf.”
Juror Notes
Great, as always.
This is exactly why I love Peter’s work: keen observations and witty illustrations.
