David Baldinger - Cartoonist & Photographer

Neda al-Watan , the PFLP’s Arabic-language newspaper published monthly in the West Bank and Gaza, conducted an interview with Brazilian cartoonist and artist Carlos Latuff , who is well known for his graphics and cartoons in support of the Palestinian struggle, for its September 2009 issue. Read the full interview in English below: Neda al-Watan Question: What inspired you to become a cartoonist? How did you become involved with the struggle to free Palestine and how did Palestine become the subject of so much of your work? Carlos Latuff: Since my childhood my dream was to be an artist. I used to spend hours in front of the television watching Hanna-Barbera cartoons. After 1990, I started to produce cartoons for Leftist union papers but not for political reasons, just as a professional. Until my contact with the Zapatista Movement in 1997 through the Internet, I wasn’t engaged in any political cause. Then, after a trip to the West Bank, invited by Palestinian Center for Peac...

Caricature Of Kim Jong-il by ~ davidbdr on deviant ART Selected Cartoon Dr. Strangejong or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb While Stalinist despot Kim Jong Il is making his depleted country and his world's fifth largest army (1.2 mill. soldiers) ready for the nuclear age, a unique art exhibition is running in the Art Center Berlin: " Art from Pyongyang " . The artworks are made with loving hands, yet mostly kitschy and available for buyers with little money. They almost seem to be off this world. Among the exhibits are artworks with a clearly propagandistic statement - without compromising the capitalist enemy USA. In the work "Kim-Jong-iL", artist David Baldinger addresses the leader with a clear statement: Kim is the despot who is gone berserk, the one who spends the national budget for his military despite the big poverty in his country - his eyes always pointed at the atom. He's the little boy who spends his lunch money ...

The New McCarthyism by ~ davidbdr on deviant ART Since a histrionic article about Barack Obama's childhood friendship with the African-American, Communist? poet and journalist, Frank Marshall Davis [link] appeared on the vile AIM (Accuracy In Media) website, [link] the guilt by association charge of being either a Marxist or socialist has been repeated ad nauseum by the Right-Wing hacks of the blogosphere about Obama. Apparently, Obama is a secret Commie mole working for the Communist Party USA to destroy this shining gem of Democracy into a Red gulag. The whole idea would be laughable if it were not for the fact that a large percentage of the US voting public are simpletons with no grasp of history or the reality of their own country. This BS is only going to become more ridiculous as the Right attempt to scuttle Obama's presidential chances. They really fear his intelligence and masterful oratory skills. I can't wait to see the "debates between Obama and McCain....

Israel At 60 by ~ davidbdr on deviant ART Israel celebrates its 60th anniversary. A good day for the Jewish people but also a sad day for the displaced Palestinian people. [link] I hope that Israel has safety and peace. I also hope the Palestinian people find justice, a return of their lands and a new state. Today, I am thinking of my peace loving friends in Israel and the Palestinian territories.

4000 by ~ davidbdr on deviant ART 4000 US soldiers  (officially) dead in GW Bush's pathological war for resources and a permanent foothold in the Middle East. 4000 is not nearly the monumental numbers of Iraqi dead but these deaths are just as needless.
