Posted on 13. Feb, 2009 by anonymous in Blog, Culture
Heard of the Western Nostril? It may sound quite obscure and your mind might not know what to think of when hearing Western Nostril but actually that’s a bit like Western Nostril’s humour. Its raw, unique and home grown. All the way from Cape Town and published by the infamous Laugh it Off we have the Western Nostril book of cartoons.
Conjured up by the brothers: Patrick and Alex Latimer booth talented creatives.
‘They live on either side of a small coastal valley near Cape Town. On Patrick’s side is an abandoned glass furnace which he uses as a secret underground studio. Alex works from the stairwell of a lighthouse. Every so often the brothers gather their respective cartoon ideas and wade to the middle of the marsh that divides the valley in two. Then over a flask of minestrone soup they discuss their ideas. Once they’ve sorted the good ones from the bad, Patrick goes back to his furnace to draw them and Alex lingers in the marsh until it gets dark.’ (http://www.thewesternnostril.co.za/links/)
Its a mix of dry-clever humour illustrated in a cubist type style. If you are cheap you can sign up for their site feed, browse their site or hay! local is lekker, throw some support and order the book for only R120 and dig it any time.
