Mike Rhode is reporting that Alexandria Times editorial cartoonist Steven Artley is walking away from editorial cartooning. Steve’s Facebook announcement reads:
“My editorial cartoons are no more. I am done, finished, kaput. Earlier today, I stepped down from the Alexandria Times. I guess it’s time to try something else. What that something else may be, I don’t know. Anyway, thanks to those of you who ”liked“ my work and left supportive comments.”
Steven has expanded on his reasoning. You can read that on Mike’s blog.
Steve, I understand the frustrations you’ve found all too well, but all the same I’m sorry to see you give this up. I hope you find a new outlet for your talents, and wish you all the best.
Ditto, Greenberg’s comments. Hope you find new and fruitful outlets for your many talents, Steve.
Steve, sorry to hear this but I can understand what’s led you to this decision. I know you’ll take this as an opportunity to find a different way to use your talent to express your opinions. Keep drawing and creating.
