A young student came down from Newcastle to study and the people of Birmingham, knowing a good thing when they saw it, refused to let him go back!

Hunt Emerson has been an ever-present face on the Midlands arts scene for several decades - old rockers can remember posters he produced for local bands and Midlands mods covert his late seventies ska album covers. From his initial cartoons for now rare and obscure hip underground publications to the pages of The Radio Times, his talent has took him along way (without leaving Brum)!

Since those heady days of his youth he has garnered deserved international fame as a cartoonist of great worth. His works are collected, translated and available as books in countless languages. These include venerably funny adaptations and histories such as Casanova's Last Stand, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Lady's Chatterley's Lover, many of these having been published in the UK by Knockabout.
