Biography
cartoonist and cartoon enthusiast, was born at Broken Hill on 22 September 1955. He moved to Adelaide and studied Town Planning at the SA Institute of Technology (now SAU). In 1985, with cartoonist Michael Atchison of the Adelaide Advertiser , Baldwin organised a convention of 40 Australian cartoonists in Adelaide (sponsored by the Advertiser ) accompanied by an exhibition of contemporary cartoons in Old Parliament House. This led to a revitalised Black and White Artists’ Club, which had collapsed in the 1960s to just a few Sydney members (mainly Fairfax employees). The Club set up annual awards, judged by all its members from a large format voting book with printed examples of members work as reminders (votes are for the artist, not the work in the book), soon known as the Stanleys. From 1985 to 1992 the awards were sponsored by ACP via the Bulletin , to which Baldwin contributed cartoons. A collection of original cartoons drawn mainly for the Bulletin (ML PXD 739) contains one cartoon by Baldwin, dated 4 February 1986. In 1986 Baldwin edited and produced the first issue of Inkspot , the quarterly magazine of the Black and White Artists’ Club. Its cover has his drawing of two cavemen inspecting the Stanley Award statuette (reproduced Lindesay 1994, 64). In the late 1990s he was living in North Haven, South Australia.
