Производитель: "Michael Joseph"

For fans of The Bunny Suicides, Simon`s Cat and 101 Uses of a Dead Cat comes the hilariously offensive Hate Mail by Mr Bingo. Gorgeous and funny! Like a labrador doing stand-up . (Noel Fielding). Mr Bingo loves post. In April 2011 he launched a service on his website, where, for a small payment, he would send his customer a vintage postcard with one of his iconic drawings and an offensive message on the back. So the purchaser gets a much sought-after original signed drawing, the postman gets a laugh and the world gets a little bit happier. Six days after launch, it had become so popular that he had to temporarily close the service. But fear not! Mr Bingo is teaming up with Penguin to create Hate Mail, a book that will showcase 100 of his favourite comic cards. Take a peak at some of Mr Bingo`s Hate Mail postcards. Mr Bingo didn`t learn a lot at school but he did discover one valuable thing: he was good at making people laugh. Now an enormously successful illustrator... ISBN:978-0-718-15903-0

His first paid work involved "character and background designs" for the BBC Three animated TV series Monkey Dust.[5] He has also produced artwork advertising the Suicide Girls' first tour, and has also produced posters for the Scottish Food Standards Agency.[6]

Among his many clients are such big-name companies as Oxfam, Orange, Microsoft, Nike, the BBC, Volkswagen, Virgin, Converse, Howies, Carhartt, Absolut and MTV. He also does editorial illustrations and other work for both The Financial Times and The Guardian newspapers, and has had work featured in magazines as diverse as Bearded, Dazed and Confused, WIRED, Esquire and GQ, while his art has also been featured in Creative Review and Icon magazines.[3][4]

In 2006 and 2007, he provided the covers for the two QI books based on the comedy panel quiz fronted by Stephen Fry. The Book of General Ignorance and The Book of Animal Ignorance are both published by Faber and Faber. A selection of rough artwork and preliminary designs have since been showcased by the QI website.[7]

A selection of his work can be found on his website, and he has created a number of limited edition silkscreen prints which can be viewed online, and (so far) consist of "Hair portraits" - famous "faces", illustrated only by their hair.[8][9] The latest addition in the series was created for The Mighty Boosh, which was published in The Mighty Book Of Boosh and printed on T-Shirts for the 08/09 live tour.
