Hate Mail

Mr Bingo

From the hugely popular illustrator, Mr Bingo, comes his collection of darkly funny, hilariously inappropriate postcards

Mr Bingo loves post. In April 2011 he launched a service on his website, where, for a small payment, he would send his customer a vintage postcard with one of his iconic sketches and an offensive message on the back. So the purchaser gets a much sought-after original signed drawing, the postman gets a laugh and the world gets a little bit happier.

Six days after launch, it had become so popular that he had to temporarily close the service. But fear not! Mr Bingo is set to make a return next Christmas, teaming up with Penguin to create a book that will showcase his comic cards and even include some that you can pop in the post yourself . . .

Mr Bingo is a London-based illustrator with a dedicated following of fans and a broad client list that includes The Mighty Boosh, QI, the Guardian, MTV and The New York Times. As well as illustrating, Mr Bingo is regularly invited to speak at events about his work and about things that interest him. His interests include dogs who wear clothes and the British abroad.
