Local Cartoonist, Alan Benge's Latest Paintings
Alan Benge's cartoons are great BUT did you know that Alan is also a wonderful artist, check out these local paintings, they can be viewed at Artspace Gallery on the Petone Foreshore. Well done Alan, we're looking forward to see more. Also, if you haven't got a copy of his cartoon book and would like a healthy laugh, come and check out if you of your neighbourhood is featured in it. I get a good laugh each time I see his cartoon of our gallery and see the elderly lady heading back to Bob Scott with her shopping trolley full of paintings. :)
