I sent my most recent book to the printers this week. It promises to be the best yet. Here’s a sneak peek at the cover artwork. I will soon have the store ready to take pre-orders…STAY TUNED!

My new book Daggers Drawn is nearly finished. Here you can see a rough sketch of the cover. More to come!

These originals are available for the Kickstarter campaign for Daggers Drawn

Here are three new cartoons available for Purchase to the support the Daggers Drawn Kickstarter campaign.

ALERT! New SUPER addition to The Kickstarter Campaign for Daggers Drawn!

In 2001 I created this classic Super Bowl cartoon modelled on my father, who was a dedicated and highly animated armchair football fan.

To celebrate the Baltimore Ravens return to the Super Bowl (my Dad’s favorite team), I have added a print of this cartoon as a new reward for Kickstarter supporters. The framable print will be 9×12 and hand-signed by the artist. Though this will be a special gift to any Ravens Fan, it will also bring a smile to the face of any sports enthusiast.

You can go to THE KICKSTARTER PROJECT PAGE to order. $30 for the Super Bowl Print or $50 for the New Kal book Daggers Drawn and a Print.

For all other supporters… you can increase your pledge amount by increments of $30 and order extra prints.

Thanks for supporting Daggers Drawn… spread the word!

ALERT!  A new reward level has bee added to the Daggers Drawn Kickstarter campaign.

Here below is a portfolio of 18 color illustrations from The Economist by KAL. These watercolor paintings illustrate the weekly “Lexington” column on US politics. The average size of these darwings is 8×10 inches. All these are available for those pledging to support Daggers Drawn: 35 Years of Kal Cartoons at The Economist.

Kal discusses recent news including preparing for a second Obama term and his new Kickstarter campaign.

You can listen to the interview here.

I am excited to announce that in April 2013, I will be celebrating my 35th anniversary as cartoonist for The Economist. To mark the occasion, I want to publish a large retrospective collection of my cartoons and covers from the magazine titled Daggers Drawn.

To make this happen, I have turned to the arts funding website www.Kickstarter.com for help. With Kickstarter’s help, I have created a special campaign to help fund the book.
Fans and supporters can pre-order copies of the book, buy prints of cartoons and covers from the magazine, plus purchase one of a kind original cartoons and covers. Plus there are special rewards for those who want to join the KAL team including a book launch party at Boordy Vineyards in April.

Here’s a link to the Kickstarter campaign.

Any support you can offer would be great. But perhaps the best thing you can do to help is spread the word.  Forward the link to all your contacts, friends and colleagues. The more money we raise the better quality the book will be!
