This week we talk to Henry James Garrett, artist and author of This Book Will Make You Kinder.
Hi, I'm Henry James Garrett and I write and draw cartoons in which anthropomorphised animals and objects say amusing and/or insightful things to one another (usually on political themes).
Before this, I was doing a PhD in Philosophy (on empathy and metaethics).
But I dropped out due to anxiety.
Since then, I've written, and illustrated an op-ed for The New York Times, created alternative Valentine's cards for The Fawcett Society, provided a feminist drawing of Meghan Markle's dog as a gift for her, cartooned for The i Newspaper, Buzzfeed, and London Pride, had solo exhibitions in London and a beautiful phonebox in Brighton, and built a beautiful generous following of incredible humans.
