Thank you for making this blog. I had seen a lot of Searle's stuff in my life now and than, but it was not till now that I have really noticed and seen everyhting I admire about cartooning and art in one artist. I must find more of his work. Thank you again.
Yes, I completely agree. This is fantastic Matt. Thanks so much foor putting this together. This will be a constant sourse of inspiration. I haven't seen a lot of these. Really appreciate you putting it together.
Great blog Matt. I first saw Searle's work in Punch in 1957 when I was stationed with the USAF in Norfolk. I corresponded with him and he graciously sent me an original drawing which still hangs proudly on my wall. I purchased a number of his books from Perpetua Books (including the Rake's Progress) and they all came with his autograph inside.His work lives on thanks to you!
Thanks Bruce! Any chance you could send me a photo of your original for the website?
