The good ones never make you say, “Huh?” The artist must be an excellent draughtsman, always on top of current events, good under pressure, clever! And he must be able to combine all of these skills, generally, every day. St. Louis’ own R.J. Matson is a master of this genre.
There will be both framed and unframed artwork available for sale. R.J. Matson is the editorial cartoonist at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, The New York Observer, and Roll Call.
His cartoons and illustrations have appeared in many other publications including The New Yorker, The Nation, MAD Magazine, City Limits, The Daily News, The Washington Post, Washington City Paper, Capital Style, and Rolling Stone.
He joined the Post-Dispatch in 2005. For information call (314) 862-6100 or visit www.subbooks.com.
