November 6th was the night of the “Giles – One of the family” exhibition private viewing which followed on from the successful opening of the exhibition and launch of the website (http://www.cartoons.ac.uk) the day previously.
As well as Artwork on display, there were memorabilia, fan letters, a looping video reel, a recreation of Giles’ studio and also a British Cartoon Archive kiosk allowing access to the website and the digitised images.

The evening was a large success and plenty of well known faces were all present to sample and enjoy a selection of Carl Giles’ long hidden (and some previously unseen) original artwork on display.
The exhibition is currently open and will be running until February 2009. More details of which can be found on the main website.
