We close the book on KFOC 2016 with another successful festival!<br />
<br />
Folks came from miles around to meet our terrific line up of guest speakers and a great time was had by all.<br />
<br />
Over the next week or two we will take care of some post-festival details including the following:<br />
<br />
Photo gallery for KFOC 2016 - we will be posting an official gallery of photos here on the website but, if you just can't wait, check them out on our Facebook page. <i>(If you haven't "liked" the Kenosha Festival Of Cartooning page be sure to remedy that ASAP!)</i> A big thanks to <b>Mike Cope</b> who once again took about 2000 great pictures of the event and then took the time to whittle that down to a more manageable number!<br />
<br />
Audio archive - Thank you again to <b>Greg Berg</b> of the WGTD Morning Show and Kenosha's NPR affiliate for another great interview with the cartoonists. We will be posting a link here in the sidebar and, again, it's already up on the FB page.<br />

<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">John
first discovered his love for cartooning in 1991 while working for a
Chicago Graphic Design firm. That year he and his wife Anne decided to
collaborate on a comic strip titled "Second Nature. Although it was
never syndicated, Second Nature reached a long list of loyal readers
through their privately run subscription service.<br /><br />John continued
experimenting with other comic strip ideas until one day a little boy
named Edison arrived uninvited in his imagination. The precocious little
ten year old refused to leave, so John eventually awarded him a
starring role in the comic strip "The Brilliant Mind of Edison Lee,"
picked up for syndication in 2006 by King Features. The strip, now
entering its tenth year, appears in over 200 digital and print
newspapers worldwide.<br /><br />“The Brilliant Mind of Edison Lee” was
nominated for the Reuben Division Award “Best Newspaper Comic Strip” in
2010 by the National Cartoonists Society. That same year John was a
featured speaker at “Toonfest”, the annual Walt Disney hometown festival
in Marceline, Missouri. In 2011 he was one of the inaugural speakers at
the first annual Kenosha Festival of Cartooning. For the 2015 KFOC he
amazed the audience with a one take video in which he drew all the
characters of the festival guests.<br /><br />In addition to Edison Lee,
John has been illustrating children’s books and serving on the board of
the National Cartoonists Society. Plans for 2016 include creating a
series of small Edison Lee books.<br /><br />John lives in Wisconsin with
his wife, daughter, an ancient cat, a passel of comic strip characters
and two herding dogs who keep everyone in line.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Rob
Harrell first got really into cartooning as a fourth grader, growing up
in Bloomington, Indiana. By the fifth grade, he was producing his own
magazine called <i>Freak Out</i>. While largely a blatant rip-off of <i>Mad</i> magazine, it featured the adventures of two original characters: Henry the Cat and Bob the blob. Reviews were mixed.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After a few years of seasoning, he created the syndicated daily comic strip <i>Big Top, </i>which
from 2002 through 2007, telling the story of a dysfunctional group of
circus animals in the animal-run Big Top Circus. Currently, he writes
and draws the long-running daily strip <i>Adam@Home</i>, about the daily exploits of Adam Newman and his family.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">His first graphic novel, <i>Monster on the Hill</i>,
was released by Top Shelf Productions in 2013. Set in a fantastical
1860s England where each town takes great pride in their local monster,
the book tells the story of one Stoker-on-Avon and their less than
impressive monster Rayburn. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Rob is currently writing and illustrating a series of middle-grade books called <i>Life of Zarf </i>which tell
the story of Zarf Belford, a troll just trying to make it through
middle school in a fairy tale world. The first book was released in
September 2014, and the second, <i>Life of Zarf: The Troll Who Cried Wolf</i> hit shelves in September 2015. The third installment will be out in the fall of 2016.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In
addition to his busy schedule as an author and syndicated cartoonist
Harrell is a freelance illustrator who has worked with clients that
include <i>Mad,</i> Simon and Schuster, American Greetings, Time, Inc. and Volkswagen.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">His figurative paintings have been shown around the country, including solo shows in San Francisco, Austin and Indianapolis.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Rob lives in Austin, Texas with his wife, Amber and their two dogs, Cooper and Kasey.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Wiley
Miller has always had one simple goal: "Produce the funniest,
best-drawn cartoon possible, regardless of theme, subject matter or
setting." <i>Non Sequitur</i> has accomplished that and more: A hit with fans of all ages, the strip is distributed to more than 700 newspapers.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Wiley
is the recipient of the Rueben Award, naming him Outstanding Cartoonist
of the Year by the National Cartoonists Society in 2014, the most
prestigious prize in cartooning. In addition to that, <i>Non Sequitur</i> has
won four National Cartoonists Society divisional awards, and Wiley was
the first cartoonist to be presented a divisional award after only one
year in syndication. He's the only one ever to win in both the comic
strip and comic panel categories.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"Innovation" is a constant in Wiley's approach to cartooning, and his ongoing quest to stretch the medium has been integral to <i>Non Sequitur's</i> success. While the strip's sardonic humor and distinctive art have given <i>Non Sequitur </i>an
impassioned following among readers, Wiley's technical innovations have
earned admiration from newspaper editors and comics connoisseurs. In
addition to developing a unique drawing method that allows the cartoon
to be used in either a strip or panel format, Wiley also pioneered a
cost-effective way to produce the strip using process color, which gives
it a depth and richness of color not seen previously on the comics
page.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Wiley
studied art at Virginia Commonwealth University and worked for several
educational film studios in Los Angeles before joining the Greensboro,
N.C., News & Record as staff artist/editorial cartoonist in 1976.
After a stint at the Santa Rosa Press Democrat in California, he created
his first syndicated strip, Fenton, in 1982. He returned to editorial
cartooning three years later, joining the staff of the San Francisco
Examiner.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In
1988, Wiley was named Best Editorial Cartoonist by the California
Newspaper Publishers Association. He won the prestigious Robert F.
Kennedy Journalism Award for editorial cartooning in 1991.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A native of California, Wiley and his family now live in Georgia.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
A few months ago I asked John Hambrock to do something to officially "open" Kenosha Festival of Cartooning 2015.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I gave him no direction and had no idea what he would come up with. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
His contribution wound up being this amazing video.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was shot in one take.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No pencil - straight to ink and brush.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No tracing, no light box, no gimmicks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just a freehand rendition of the characters of all our 2015 Kenosha Festival Of Cartooning guest artists. (Mark Anderson - Andertoons, Darrin Bell - Candorville, Jan Eliot - Stone Soup, Bill Morrison - Futurama, Ed Steckley - Young Rube Goldberg, Mark Tatulli - Lio)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I, like everyone else at the festival, saw it for the first time on stage Thursday night September 17th and was blown away.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've now watched it about 10 times and am STILL amazed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you John!!!</div>
