Here's a short video about me and my cartoons, the process, how I got started in cartooning etc. If you can't see the video preview above, watch it on YouTube. It's nine minutes of me talking about my favourite subject, with lots of cartoons to illustrate it. It was great fun to do, many thanks to the excellent Dave Painter of HUTC productions who made it.

Setting sail for the Herne Bay Cartoon Festival
I drew the poster for this year's Herne Bay Cartoon Festival. Click to enlarge. You'll need to, I packed a lot of jokes into it. Some of them are even not about Covid.
The main festival exhibition is now up at Beach Creative, I've got a few cartoons in there. Some of them are even not about Covid. And there's a Giles exhibition at the Seaside Museum. The live event takes place on the Pier this Sunday (August 1).
You'll find all the details you need over at the Procartoonists.org blog.

Royston cartoons exhibition now open
My cartoon exhibition Long Time, No See is now on at York Street Gallery in Ramsgate. It runs until midday on May 12. There are more than 70 top gags from Private Eye, The Spectator, Reader's Digest etc on Covid and much else. Most are signed and framed prints plus there are some originals for sale and books, cards and postcards.
Due to Covid restrictions I can't have a private view/opening but I'm aiming to be in the gallery at various times on Saturday and Sunday, and possibly other days too, so get in touch if you want to have socially distanced cartoony chat.
Long Time, No See: An Exhibition of Cartoons by Royston is at York Street Gallery, 22 York Street, Ramsgate.

New cartoon exhibition in Ramsgate
There are lots of cartoons on a certain theme ... But there are many other subjects covered too, cartoons new and old. There are around 70-odd in total, the biggest show I've held by far, and my first solo show that is in a gallery rather than a pub!
There will be some original artwork for sale but it is mostly signed prints, all available at affordable prices.
So if you're in the area do come along and have a laugh. We all need it.
