Instructor Bio John Donohue's Courses No courses available at this time. John Donohue started drawing as a child, but then took time off to pursue an education and a career as a journalist. He picked up the pencil again about five years ago and his cartoons have since appeared in The New Yorker, Barron's, Thompson's Medical Economics, and elsewhere. His drawings have been displayed at the Atlantic Gallery in Soho, and the now defunct Big Cat Gallery in the East Village. Testimonials The instructor was an excellent conduit into the world of gag cartooning. His own experience and his acquaintance with other cartoonists gave me a realistic view of the genre and its marketing peculiarities. -- Anonymous
