Cartoons for the new DEMOCRACY booth in the exhibition hall at the Australian Labor Party ALP 50th National Conference in Adelaide 23-25 July. ‘The new DEMOCRACY Foundation is a non-partisan research, advocacy and advisory charity that promotes Citizens’ Assemblies as a more trusted way of doing democratic decision-making.’
I did cartoon caricatures of visitors to the booth during the conference, while they were introduced to the new DEMOCRACY mission.
‘Hello Simon–we probably talked 40 years ago when you designed the letterhead/Annual Report for Fitzroy Community Health Centre in Melbourne. I’m attaching an example of that excellent collaboration as a reminder.
I’m now involved in setting up ‘Friends of Community Health’ to resuscitate the community activism of those early times 🫤.
I’m also attaching our information sheet/hand out that needs some illustration/ lightening up.best regards, Terri Jackson (former Manager of FCHC)’

The 2nd National Small Town Reinvention Conference was held at Kapunda, South Australia, 22-25 September. The cartoons illustrated just some of the many moments and messages over four great days.
The conference was another Peter Kenyon of The Bank of Ideas event. Supported by many – in particular Tony Piccolo MP who brought the conference to Kapunda.
The 28 cartoons were auctioned on the last day, the money raised was donated to the painting of the Kapunda silo art project.
Dimitrios Papalexis, founder and director at Soulgen – building social capital, driving social innovation, enhancing community wellbeing – wanted a design that illustrated Asset Based Communiy Development (ABCD) – for T-shirts and other uses.
The final design (above) came together after three ideas (below) were drawn up and put out inviting feedback.
Spread a message of unity with our Cartoon Design Tee by Simon Kneebone, featuring the slogan ‘Where are you from? Earth?’. Printed sustainably, this unisex t-shirt is a thought-provoking way to show solidarity. Wear it to the July voting polls to remind all politicians of our shared humanity. All profits to charity.
