Plenty of Gerald Scarfe news for you, following on from the news items last month...

Firstly, UK digital channel BBC4 are broadcasting "Gerald Scarfe - Drawing Blood" on Thursday (October 2nd 2003) at 9pm - 10pm BST, repeated at 11.30pm - 12.30am BST, and on Friday October 10th 11.30pm - 12.30am BST. More details of this profile of Gerald at the BBC4 website. Granted exclusive access to Scarfe in the run-up to an exhibition, it explores the techniques and processes behind his caricatures, and looks at his extensive career.

UPDATE: The Gerald Scarfe programme on BBC4 TV was an extremely interesting insight into the man and his work. It covered his career in good detail, with a mention of his work for Pink Floyd.

The exhibition is a selection of his drawings for the book "Heroes & Villains", published on Monday, which are on show at the National Portrait Gallery in London. It runs from now until April 4th 2004, and admission is free.

Finally, there is another interview with Scarfe, published by the Metro newspaper in the UK, which is entertaining. They even pose the question: "what were you on when you did The Wall?" where Gerald talks of his drug taking! You can read it through this link.
