Matt Davies is the staff cartoonist for Newsday in New York. He was the recipient of the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for editorial cartoons and has been a Pulitzer finalist in 2011, 2016 and 2023. He has twice been awarded the Herblock Prize – once in 2004 when the prize was inaugurated and again in 2019. He also received the 2017 and 2021 Headliners award, 2022 Sigma Delta Chi award and the 2001 Robert F. Kennedy Award for a collection of cartoons highlighting police brutality, racism and school overcrowding.
Born in London, England in 1966, Davies moved to the U.S. in 1983. After studying Illustration and fine art at The Savannah College of Art & Design (GA) and The School of Visual Arts in New York City, he began drawing editorial cartoons full-time for The Journal News in Westchester County (NY) in 1993 until 2010. He also drew for the CT Hearst Newspapers from 2008 until 2014, when he joined Newsday.
Syndicated since 1994, his cartoons are distributed worldwide by Andrews McMeel syndicate.
He is also a children’s book author and illustrator.
The mission of the AAEC is to champion and defend editorial cartooning and free speech as essential to liberty in the United States and throughout the world.
The AAEC aims to be an international leader in support of the human, civil, and artistic rights of editorial cartoonists around the world, and to stand with other international groups in support of the profession.
As I’m writing this, the House is in an all-night session, not so much debating Trump’s major bill as seeing which side can hold on...
The AAEC John Locher Memorial Fellowship is awarded each year to one early-career cartoonist whose work demonstrates clear opinions and strong artistry on political and social topics. Deadline to be considered is the end of March.
The Locher Fellow will receive a one-year Regular membership in the AAEC, be a guest of the CXC Festival — held every fall in Columbus, Ohio — and have the opportunity to meet with editorial cartoonists during the year of the Fellowship for portfolio reviews and career advice.
Every two weeks throughout the year, The Learning Forum and the AAEC offers CARTOONS FOR THE CLASSROOM, a free lesson resource for teachers discussing current events. Visit NIEonline.com for more lesson plans.
