Pen portraits of the artists whose work graced the Club walls
in December and January

Malone - Born in Hong Kong, Malone started producing political cartoons in 1983. He has worked as art director for a newspaper, as creative director for magazines and his work has appeared in numerous magazines, newspapers and books.
He edited Hong Kong’s first political cartoon magazine Fan Dou in 1991 and SAR Cartoon Magazine in 1998. He runs Malone’s Cartoon Teaching Workshop in Central, Hong Kong.

EMU - Has been drawing cartoons for Hong Kong publications since the mid-1970s, targetting leaders of Chinese Communist Party and Hong Kong-British politicians. EMU’s cartoons appear in Ming Pao, Ming Pao Evening News, The Economic Journal and The Economic Times among others. Hasn’t repented since 1997 and continues to “uglify” leaders in China and Hong Kong and continues to agitate in support of his views that our Chief Executive, Mr. Tung Chee-hwa, is good for nothing, and his impact on Hong Kong is disastrous.

Kee Yung - Born in Paris, France. Kee Yung was fired by the Hong Kong iMail before managing to get any cartoons published, and then by HK Magazine in the summer of 2002. He went on to work on the character design and storyboard of Dragonblade, Asia’s first full-length computer-graphic animated movie, due to be released in December 2003. Surprisingly enough, he hasn’t been fired by anybody for more than three months now, though that is probably because his work isn’t published anymore.

5M6 - Born in Hong Kong. A special column cartoonist for the Hong Kong Economic Journal

Zunzi - Started creating cartoons in the 80s. After an editing stint, he joined Ming Pao Daily News as a staff writer. His cartoons appear in Ming Pao, Apple Daily and Next Magazine.
