JENKINS Anthony
Portfoolio 86: 204.
“Cartooning is an immediate form of communication. You need no previous knowledge of art for it to grab you.” The Hecklers: 240.
Born 1951 in Toronto.
After graduating from the University of Waterloo, he freelanced for different publications in Toronto including The Toronto Star. Ed Franklin, the editorial cartoonist for the Globe and Mail encouraged him to try out there, and in 1974 he began working there and was eventually taken on staff. In the 1980’s he took a three year-long leave of absence from the Globe & Mail to travel throughout Africa, Asia, Europe and South America. In the same period he began occasional writing for the Globe & Mail. He also branched into portrait painting.
In the late 1980’s he was commissioned with other cartoonists Adrian Raeside and Vince Rodewalt to do covers for CBC’s magazine Radio Guide. They were later joined by Graham Harrop, Peter Lynde, and Barbara Wood a Vancouver artist doing whimsical urbanscapes. This project continued into the late 1990’s.
