Harry Burton

Harry works as a political cartoonist, illustrator and storyboard artist. Originally from Greystones, Co. Wicklow, he is currently the resident political cartoonist for the Irish Examiner and draws cartoons for the Sunday Independent. From his studio, Harry provides his take on the state of the world with either bold imagery or a dash of humour – depending on the day. 

Cartoon drawing of a bearded person with wild hair, wide eyes, and an open mouth, appearing excited or surprised, against a black background.
Cartoon showing four figures resembling human evolution, but the final figure has distinct hair and is crawling backwards, implying regression rather than progress.
A person in old-fashioned clothes sits under a tree thinking about Ireland's housing. Suddenly, a giant apple falls on them, knocking them down and scattering leaves.
A cartoon shows politicians celebrating their election win whilst, in the next panel, children hold up a burning Earth, struggling under its weight as flames spread.
Two men sit opposite each other with an elephant labelled “IDF” behind them. The elephant holds missiles labelled “Made in USA.” Money spills from a briefcase. A US flag stands nearby.
A comic strip shows a woman labelled "Heather" getting hit in the face by a football kicked by another person, causing her to fall to the ground.
Cartoon: Officials hold a "NEW GAZA" banner in front of rubble, listing destroyed structures. A child stands on debris, while a sign next to them reads, "Where's the aid?".
A sombre sketch of a cloaked figure cradling an emaciated child with a visible spine and a flag on their side. Text below reads, "A CHILD’S BACKBONE...WHERE’S OURS?".
Cartoon of four people in suits in two wooden boats; a large wave overturns one boat, tossing two people out, while two others struggle in the second boat. The scene is exaggerated and expressive.
Cartoon of a weather presenter in a pink dress, standing in water up to her waist, pointing to a map showing clouds and rain across the country.
A colourful painting of a castle-like building with towers, surrounded by green grass and a large tree in the foreground under a blue sky.
A man in a red jumper and backwards cap smiles while drawing at a drawing table, with computer monitors and bookshelves in the background.
