You’re in for an illustrative treat in an interview with an illustrious illustrator on the Freedom From Religion Foundation’s “Freethought Matters” TV show this Sunday.
Edward Sorel charts his remarkable life and irreverent artwork in his new memoir, Profusely Illustrated. His art has appeared in prestigious publications, such as The New Yorker, for which he’s drawn numerous covers, The Atlantic, Vanity Fair and The Nation. His drawings have been featured in newspapers, such as The New York Times and even in FFRF’s newspaper, Freethought Today, and as murals, cartoons and comic strips. Sorel has many previous books, including Mary Astor’s Purple Diary, Unauthorized Portraits and Making the World Safe for Hypocrisy. FFRF is proud that Sorel is an honorary director of the organization, and is delighted to feature a visually showcased discussion of his work.
“It’s nice to get paid for making pictures,” Sorel tells “Freethought Matters” co-hosts Dan Barker and Annie Laurie Gaylor. “I can’t think of any better way of getting through life than doing what I want to do and getting paid for it.”
The episode is “profusely illustrated,” spotlighting Sorel’s artistic commentary on religion and politics.
