Karl Meersman
Miguel Beauprez, Maïté Deschagt, Hans Martens and Jessica Vinck:
Karl Meersman was born in Temse on the 14th of september in 1961. He's a Flemish cartoonist and illustrator.
He's famous for his caricature in magazines such as ,,Trends'' and ,,Focus Knack''. Togheter with his brother he had a character studio till 2004. He thinks he's a graphic artist, but he feels attracted to the cartoon satire in tradition of Felicien Rops, Toulouse Lautrec and Honoré Daumier.
We've chosen Karl Meersman because he's creative with his caricatures about the recent newsflashes and also we love his jokes about the politics of Belgium. We've been to an art gallery in Bruges where there was a temporary exhibition of his work.
We're going to make new cartoons about the current teachers in our school.
