Images by Josh Bale (22) and Will Bertram (24), both of whom have worked for local art studio The Kartoon Faktory, were among six runners-up in the under-30s category of the 2015 Young Cartoonist of the Year award.
Mr Bale, who recently finished a visual communication degree at Bournemouth Arts University, entered a bold, colourful image of two fierce-looking Jersey seagulls with a tagline that suggested a film sequel: ‘Where Seagulls Stare’ – a play on the film Where Eagles Dare.
Mr Bertram, a freelance illustrator who is completing a foundation art degree at Highlands College, offered a dark twist on the festive children’s book and animation ‘The Snowman’ in which the main character, while being carried through the air, says: ‘Icarus – what a funny name for a snowman.’
