Local cartoonist <a href="http://mackaycartoons.net/hamilton.html">Graeme MacKay </a>has many political cartoons to search through, you could literally spend the better part of an afternoon navigating through his website.<br /><br />Born in '68 Graeme MacKay grew up in Dundas, Ontario, Canada. He's always been a "news geek" and was the kid who never stopped doodling. He would draw his teachers and classmates, a sure way to win a chuckle or two. In the fourth grade, he drew the whole class, and ran off photocopies for them all, on demand. He also attended junior art classes at the <a href="http://www.dvsa.ca/" target="_blank">Dundas Valley School of Art</a> in the late 1970s.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.ecklundartgallery.com/">www.ecklundartgallery.com</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9080753976706093539-8784911651612609271?l=ecklund-art-gallery.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ecklund Art Galleryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11791254293789466856noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9080753976706093539.post-39524882895672340192007-11-27T11:24:00.000-08:002007-11-27T11:31:38.268-08:00From the Hamilton Spectator:<br />"Actor.
