About the Author
Brian Fairrington
is a nationally syndicated, award-winning editorial cartoon-
ist and illustrator and one of the few U.S. cartoonists whose political leanings
are conservative. Brian began his career in the mid-1990s while he was a
student at Arizona State University, where he began drawing cartoons for the
student newspaper, the
State Press.
Arizona State University is home to the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism,
one of the more prestigious journalism programs in the country. The news-
paper is part of that program but is independently operated by the students.
During his undergraduate years at the
State Press,
Brian won every major
national award, making him one of the most decorated cartoonists to come
out of college. His honors include the John Locher Memorial Award, given
by the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists, and the Charles Schulz
Award, given by the Scripps Howard Foundation. Brian is also the two-time
winner of the Society of Professional Journalists Mark of Excellence Award,
as well as a ten-time winner of the Gold Circle Award, presented by Columbia
University’s Journalism School.
While still in college, Brian’s cartoons were nationally syndicated by the
Scripps Howard News Service. After graduating, he became a cartoonist for
the
Arizona Republic
and the
East Valley Tribune,
both in the Phoenix area. He
then moved from Scripps Howard to become nationally syndicated by Cagle
Cartoons, and his work is currently distributed to more than 800 newspapers,
magazines, and Web sites. His cartoons have appeared in
The New York
Times
and
USA Today
as well as on CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News. Additionally,
his cartoons regularly appear on MSNBC’s Cagle Cartoon Index, the most
popular cartoon Web site on the Internet.
The in-your-face approach and conservative avor of Brian’s editorial car-
toons have brought him notice from fans and critics alike. His work has been
the subject of editorials in the
Wall Street Journal
and numerous other publi-
cations. He was featured on MSNBC’s
Imus in the Morning
show and was most
recently pro led on CBS
News Sunday Morning.
Brian is a regular guest on the
Phoenix-based TV show
Horizon,
where one of his appearances garnered an
Emmy Award for news programming.
