South Park Lunch Hugh MacLeod

Ariel Waldman organized a lunch via Pownce in San Francisco’s South Park today and one of the surprise guests was our friend Hugh MacLeod, who was in town visiting from London. Hugh does blog marketing for companies like the South African winery Stormhoek and Savile Row tailor English Cut, but he’s most well known for are the hilarious cartoons that he draws on the back of business cards, which he then publishes on his blog gapingvoid.

While sitting at our picnic table today at lunch, Hugh began cranking out a bunch of his business card cartoons in an explosion of geek references and inside jokes. I began documenting them as he cranked them out and he was still making them as I left. The man is a cartoon making machine.

Here’s the full photo gallery from the lunch, including all of Hugh’s cartoons that I documented.

Now you can add the latest Hugh MacLeod cartoon to your website or blog with the new gapingvoid widget. You can also order your own business cards with Hugh’s cartoons (aka blog cards) via Streetcards.

UPDATE: Jeremy Keith was there as well and shot some photos of the lunch, including some of Hugh’s business card comics.
