Kevin Siers is an American editorial cartoonist for The Charlotte Observer and is syndicated by King Features. He was awarded the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning. BiographySiers was born in Minnesota around 1954.[1][2] His father was a mechanic who worked in ore mines.[3] Before he could spell, Siers would draw cartoons, then add speech balloons to the drawings in which he would scribble gibberish.[2] In elementary school, a fifth-grade teacher recognized his talent for drawing and encouraged him to create a comic book.[3][4] Teachers at his high school continued to encourage his development.[3] Initially, his drawings were copied from the style of popular comic strips, including most importantly the daily strips Dick Tracy, Lil' Abner and Pogo,[3] and then later from the style of Marvel Comics.[2] He was working as an iron ore miner in Minnesota when he began to draw editorial cartoons during a layoff.[1][2] Using money from his mining job, he attended the University of Minnesota as a biology major on a part-time basis, and joined the staff of campus newspaper Minnesota Daily as editorial cartoonist.[1][3][2] While there, he became acquainted with Steve Sack (who won a Pulitzer for Editorial Cartooning the year before Siers), who became Siers' mentor.[2][4] In 1987 he began drawing for The Charlotte Observer as an editorial cartoonist.[1] He was further mentored there by Doug Marlette, the primary editorial cartoonist at the Observer at the time.[5] He was awarded the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning for "his thought-provoking cartoons drawn with a sharp wit and bold artistic style."[2] WorkSiers is known for making fun of politics without regard to affiliation.[6] He divides his workday into three parts; the first part of his day is spent researching and assembling ideas, in the second phase he doodles the ideas and determines which combinations have the most potential, and he finalizes his daily cartoon by mid-day.[2] He does not use a computer to create his cartoons, but instead draws in the traditional manner using fine-point pens and a watercolor brush.[2] He does use Photoshop to add color after he has scanned his cartoon to digital format.[2] References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite web |url=http://www.pulitzer.org/winners/kevin-siers |title=Kevin Siers of The Charlotte Observer: Biography |author= |date=January 16, 2014 |website=The Pulitzer Prizes |publisher= Columbia University |access-date=February 26, 2018 |quote=}} 2. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 {{cite news |last=Washburn |first=Mark |date=April 14, 2014 |title=Observer cartoonist Kevin Siers wins Pulitzer Prize |url=http://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/local/article9112766.html |work=The Charlotte Observer |access-date=February 28, 2018}} 3. ^1 2 3 {{cite news |last=Creger |first=Mike |date=April 15, 2014 |title=Biwabik native wins Pulitzer Prize for cartoons |url=http://www.duluthnewstribune.com/news/2501783-biwabik-native-wins-pulitzer-prize-cartoons |work=Duluth News Tribune |location=Duluth, Minnesota |access-date=February 28, 2018}} 4. ^1 {{cite web |url=https://www.poynter.org/news/cartoonist-brings-charlotte-observer-its-first-win-26-years |title=Cartoonist brings the Charlotte Observer its first win in 26 years |last=Hare |first=Kristen |date=April 14, 2014 |website=Poynter |publisher=Poynter Institute |access-date=February 28, 2018}} 5. ^{{cite news |last=Cavna |first=Michael |date=April 14, 2014 |title=2014 Pulitzer Prizes: Charlotte Observer's Kevin Siers calls his Editorial Cartooning win ‘surreal’ |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/comic-riffs/wp/2014/04/14/2014-pulitzer-prizes-charlotte-observers-kevin-siers-calls-his-editorial-cartooning-win-surreal/ |work=Washington Post |access-date=February 28, 2018}} 6. ^1 2 3 {{cite news |author= |title=Kevin Siers of Charlotte Observer wins Pulitzer |url=https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/apr/14/kevin-siers-of-charlotte-observer-wins-pulitzer/ |work=Washington Times |location= |date=April 14, 2014 |access-date=February 26, 2018}} External links
