Bob Moran is a distinguished British illustrator and cartoonist, celebrated for his numerous awards. His artistic endeavors explore themes of politics, ethics, and family, utilizing emotional depth to communicate significant messages, uphold moral values, and encourage reflection on life’s true priorities.

For a decade, he served as a political cartoonist for the Daily Telegraph, earning recognition as one of the UK’s most esteemed satirists and garnering international accolades from organizations like the Foreign Press Association and the Cartoon Art Trust.

In 2020, amid the unfolding coronavirus operation, Moran took a firm stance against government measures and restrictions, viewing them as immoral, unlawful, and unnecessary. His cartoons, which served as a medium to express sentiments that many were hesitant to voice, encouraged the public to reflect on the extensive repercussions of government actions, and especially highlighted the negative impact on children and the future society being constructed for them. His striking “Stand Firm” image, created in reaction to government public health policies, circulated on social media worldwide.

After facing multiple venue cancellations for his highly anticipated and entertaining live show, Art-Pocalypse, he opted to release a recording of the event, available for viewing at the link below.

Moran courageously continues to create evocative, moving, compelling, and impactful imagery that offers recognition, hope, and comfort.
