Roger Law
BiographyBrowse items by this cartoonist
Roger Law was born on 6 September 1941 in Littleport, Cambridgeshire, the son of a builder. He attended Littleport Secondary Modern School, but left at fourteen to go to the Cambridge School of Art - where he was taught by Paul Hogarth and met Peter Fluck. In 1959 he was expelled.
With his future wife, quilt designer Deirdre Amsden, Law art-edited six issues of Granta and became an active CND campaigner, designing posters and pamphlets for the cause. He then moved to London, where he produced illustrations for Queen, and was resident artist for Peter Cook's Establishment Club, designing weekly fourteen-foot murals. In 1962 he also began contributing to the recently-created Private Eye, and collaborated with Cook to produce the strip "Almost the End" for the Observer. Law's work also appeared in Town, Topic, Sunday Times, Nova, Men Only, and Ink. As he later recalled, "I was quite prolific, doing cartoons and illustrations for newspapers and magazines. I wasn't loaded but had enough to get drunk and look after my family."
Law became discontented at the Observer, and in 1966 moved to the Sunday Times, along with the magazine designer Dave King and the photographer Don McCullin. He was hired as an illustrator, working both for the Sunday Times Magazine and for the newspaper, where he drew court scenes. He also began creating Plasticine caricature models for Nova, which in 1967 won him a Designers' & Art Directors' Association Silver Award. In the same year he co-designed record covers for Track Records, including the famous deodorant and baked beans cover of "The Who Sell Out", and the cover for Hendrix's "Axis Bold as Love", which was inspired by Hindu art and became a bestselling poster.
Law then went to the United States, where in 1967 he was artist-in-residence at Reed College, Portland, Oregon, and produced his first puppet film. In 1969 he moved to New York and worked for Bush Bins Studio, Esquire and other publications. Law returned to London in 1970 to be Features Editor of the Sunday Times Magazine, but in 1976 left to work freelance with Peter Fluck and the photographer John Lawrence, producing three-dimensional satirical models from a Cambridge workshop. The "Luck & Flaw" partnership began with three-dimensional caricatures for the New York Times in 1976, followed by National Lampoon, Sunday Times Magazine, Economist, Men Only, Marxism Today, Der Spiegel, Panorama (Holland), Stern and Time. They also produced Thatcher teapots, and huge carnival heads of Hitler and others for an Anti-Nazi League rally.
