Bored Panda reached out to Mark Lynch to learn more about his creative process and himself. The artist shared with us that his cartooning started by physically dropping off sketches at magazines and newspapers in the eighties. "Happy if they'd use only one. I was never great at drawing, so no other art forms attracted me except the bizarre world of cartooning."
Mark revealed that the most challenging part of the creative process for him is remaining relevant in "today's quickly changing environment." "For instance, a cartoon that may have been acceptable only a couple of years ago is now deemed offensive."
Talking about future plans, Mark revealed that he wants to keep on keeping on. "A daily cartoon (some may even be funny) seems to bring a bit of joy to our mixed-up existence, so why not? Obviously, I'd like to reach a wider audience via syndication, but that seems to be dwindling along with newspapers in general these days."
If you're an aspiring cartoonist, Mark has some advice for you: "Enjoy your process and always have a second job that pays! Cheers, Mark."
