Kartoon Kings Kartoon Kings: October 2005

The Greatest Gift?


Visualising a range of most desired Christmas Gifts as a wall painting covering the entire gallery space at Queen's Hall, Hexham, England, ranging from a Playstation 2 to a new love, a bottle of scotch to an end to war. The painting will open on 03 December.

Launch of the EH Comic Book


Commissioned by English Heritage, ³Out of the Dark², tells five stories that span history in the east of England, where 2000 years of people and events collide. The book launches in Thetford on 16 November. Readers can see how an eighteenth century landlady and a present-day rock guitarist square up, reflect on the strange connection between four Thetford girls and the women-singer-songwriters of the twelfth century and enjoy a little bit of Portugal with Thetford¹s bilingual dance stars.

Hopes, Fears, 20 Years



Opening on the Big Screen, Manchester, England on 24 October, this short animated film represents Manchester people's answers to two simple questions: "What has been your greatest hope since and 1985?" and "What has been your greatest fear?" Maybe the film is about platitudes. It seems to provide the sense that the most important thoughts and emotions can be easily expressed, but that when this happens, there's no reason for anyone to notice.
