We've always been huge fans of the art and
ascerbic wit of our friend, the multi-talented journalist
Ted Rall. We are honored to be his exclusive non-print merchandise
licensee.
His work appears in more than 140 publications,
including The Philadelphia Daily News, Hartford Advocate,
Los Angeles Times, San Diego Reader, Village Voice and
The New York Times.
Ted Rall was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1963, raised in Kettering, Ohio and graduated from Fairmont West High School in 1981. Inspired after meeting pop artist Keith Haring in a Manhattan subway station in 1986, Rall began posting his cartoons on New York City streets. He eventually picked up 12 clients through self-syndication. In 1990, he returned to Columbia, where he graduated with a bachelor of arts with honors in history in 1991. Later that year, Rall's cartoons were signed for national syndication. He moved to Universal Press Syndicate in 1996. Ted has published three collections of cartoons: Waking Up In America (1992), All The Rules Have Changed (1995) and Search and Destroy (Andrews and McMeel Publishing, 2001).
Most recently he edited a new anthology of alternative cartoons, Attitude 2: The New Subversive Social Commentary Cartoonists, containing interviews with and cartoons by 21 of America's best cartoonists.
Known for his caustic humor, prolificity and unflinching take on current topics, Rall writes a weekly op-ed column and has authored four prose and graphic books.
In 1996, he was one of three Finalists for the Pulitzer Prize. He was one of the New York Times' most reprinted cartoonists in 1997, 1999 and 2001. He also did color strips for both Time Magazine and Fortune Magazine from 1998 to 2001. He was awarded the 1998 Deadline Club Award by the Society of Professional Journalists for his cartoons. Rall received first place in both the 1995 and 2000 Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Awards for Cartoons. The award, founded in 1968, recognizes distinguished work on behalf of disadvantaged Americans.
