The BBC using my tent


About to go live …

Update (Friday): In answer to questions – two short sections were filmed at about 7.20 and 7.35. The main feature was an interview with the Bishop of Kansas, but my tent was used as the backdrop, and my cartoon How Christians can work together across the divide was used to introduce the item. On the second occasion I did a one sentence introduction to the cartoon. I don’t have a link to it online I’m afraid.

The blurb on the sign reads:

Lambeth Conference
Cartoonist in Residence

Cartoonist Dave Walker will be producing daily cartoons based on the events of the conference. The cartoons will appear in this tent and on the conference intranet and Lambeth Conference website.

Some other examples of Dave’s work will be displayed here in the tent in the early days of the conference. Most of these are taken from Dave’s CartoonChurch.com website or the Canterbury Press books ‘The Dave Walker Guide to the Church’ and ‘My Pew – things I have seen from it’.

Biographical information:
Dave Walker works as a freelance cartoonist and draws a weekly ‘Guide to the Church’ cartoon for the Church Times along with a blog on the Church Times website. Formerly a church youth worker, Dave started drawing cartoons professionally in 2005 following the publication of his Windsor Report series the previous autumn. Originally from Newport, South Wales, Dave currently lives in Essex. More information about his work can be found on stand E7 in the Marketplace.

    BBC coverage of SPCK and SSG perhaps??

    Go Dave, and the SPCK supporters.

  2. Anne says:

    Dave, your tent is so festive! Was the BBC guy there to talk to you, or were they just taking advantage of the shady, covered area? What does the sign say? All I can make out is “Lambeth Conference Cartoonist in Residence.” It’s kind of like a plaque or historical marker.

  3. Russ says:

    Did you get to do any cartooning live on TV, Dave – a la Rolf Harris? Would have been a cracker …

  4. rob says:

    Great idea, Russ. Dave, you need to practise saying “Can you see what it is yet” with an Aussie accent. (Sorry – I tried typing that phonetically but it came out more Kiwi than Oz.)

  5. Chris Clark says:

    Is it my tent in the same way as this is my seat, it has always been my seat ;-)

    We are privilidge to be associated with such a superstar…don’t forget the groupies who helped you get started… :-)

  6. revLois Keen says:

    ooooer! Only three years and already a superstar on BBC! Makes me proud to have your calendar and latest book – now I wish I’d asked for an autographed copy.

    but seriously, this is kinda cool, dontcha think?

  7. Ann says:

    Do you send out notes when one’s license for using your cartoons runs out?

    lets we all proceed and join.
