About

Cartoonist Andrew Fyfe has assembled a series of limited edition prints that celebrate his hometown Melbourne in a new exhibition, “Marvellous Melbourne By Fyfe”. Fyfe is best known for his live cartoons using the “pen cam” on the television show “Hey Hey It’s Saturday”. His work has appeared on the AFL Footy Show, his own children’s game show “Guess What?” for the Nine Network and published in Australian Mad Magazine, The Herald Sun and Television Week . Fyfe’s work was recognised by his peers in 2023 when he won the coveted Stanley Award for animation cartoonist. This collection of limited-edition fine art prints encapsulates the essence of Melbourne through a whimsical lens, portraying familiar streets, iconic buildings, and social satire with a distinctive twist. Fyfe's unique perspective, rooted in his upbringing in Melbourne, breathes life into the city's landmarks—from Flinders Street Station and the Yarra River to its renowned laneways and beaches. Each print unveils a narrative that transcends the ordinary, inviting viewers to explore Melbourne's charm in an unconventional light. "Marvellous Melbourne By Fyfe" is a celebration of the artist's connection to his hometown, capturing the spirit of Melbourne with humour and imagination.
