A JERSEY artist and caricaturist is due to appear in the Royal Court next month charged with possessing indecent images of children.
Edward John Blampied faces three counts of making indecent images – one category A, the most serious, one category B, and one category C.
The 47-year-old appeared in the Magistrate’s Court last month and was remanded in custody. He is due to appear in the Royal Court on 19 April.
Mr Blampied studied art at Southampton University and Winchester School of Art.
Best known for his caricatures and cartoons, he created the well-known mural on Rozel beach café The Hungry Man.
He has also illustrated local children’s books including Paul Bennett’s Daisy Moo: The Life of an Island Cow.
In 2019, Mr Blampied created his own children’s book titled The Motor Mice Go to St Ouen.
