Kenyan bus-shelter cartoonist

Humphrey Barasa is a trenchant Kenyan political cartoonist — but he doesn't draw for a newspaper. Instead, he draws his daily toons on a busy bus-shelter.


The cartoons, which Mr Barasa draws on the face of the shelter, highlight various issues – from politics and politicians, to health and social issues – and act as a pictorial analysis of current affairs.

He says that before he started, he had to work on the neglected bus shelter so that it could be an appropriate canvas for his work.

"Before I started drawing here, this board there were so many posters as you can see. It was too dirty. So I came here and painted it to make it clean," says the artist, who was quick to identify a unique location for his art.
