A new website, www.cartoonist.co.za, has hit the top spot in all the major search engines such as Google, Yahoo, Ananzi, MSN and Altavista when searching for South African cartoonists.

Already over 40 cartoonists, animators and illustrators have added their works in individual galleries. There are many well-known names on board including well-known Durban artists such as Nanda Soobben and Napier Dunn - with a number of additional artists coming on board including Andy Mason. The originator, Myke Ashley-Cooper (www.cartoons4fun.com etc) welcomes anyone else who needs exposure.

Many of the emails received by the site are from people either searching for individuals or wanting to commission artists. To join up, get more information on joining the site on email: cartoonist@cartoonist.co.za
