Biography
cartoonist, was born in Benalla (Vic), educated at Benalla Technical School (1970-75) and spent five years as an apprentice motor mechanic with Walker and McQualter at Benalla (to 1980). In 1983 he moved to Perth on an extended holiday and decided to turn his hobby of drawing cartoons into a paid job. His Rat Race comic strip was first published in the Perth Western Mail in October 1983 and it continued throughout 1984. He then lived in Shepparton for 2 years; his Rat Race appeared in the Shepparton News in 1984-87. In 1986 he studied drawing at Shepparton TAFE then settled in Melbourne, where he was working as a freelance in 1987. Benalla and Shepparton Art Galleries gave him a solo show of some 60 originals drawn in 1984-87, Out on a limb: an exhibition of cartoons by David Laity (Benalla, 5-31 May 1987), when he stated: 'I have deliberately stayed away from political cartoons as I don’t like the idea of my work being topical one day and old hat the next’. His cartoon anthology, It’s a Rat Race , was published at Benalla in 1989 (Rat Race Publishing, PO Box 690, Benalla 3672) with a foreword by Les Tanner . This entry is a stub.
