Modern Toss is the potty mouthed cartoon collective invented by former Loaded staff Jon Link and Mick Bunnage. Their cartoons are a sweary, abusive joy, including missives from characters including Mr Tourette and Drive By Abuser. I swung by the exhibition to see how Toss is going down in London, and saw the Shoreditch gallery packed to the rafters with swear-fans. Here are some of the pieces up for sale.
Modern Tossers
The chaps claim they will be concentrating on “addressing contemporary themes” with this exhibition, so get yourself down there and check out too their ‘Periodic Table Of Swearing’, a drop-in art therapy session in the form of a 200metre long communal cartoon, some live poetry reading from the Drive-by Abuser, a selection of superb ‘Space Argument’ prints and some highly collectible dirty pictures, hand-stitched in wool by enthusiastic mature ladies.
