OK, here's the boring resume-type stuff:

My editorial cartoons are syndicated to nearly 400 newspapers by King Features. My work has appeared in the New York Times, USA Today, Newsweek, the Washington Post, the Chicago Sun-Times, the Dallas Morning News, the San Francisco Examiner, El Pais (Spain's largest daily newspaper), Liberal Opinion Week, Z Magazine and many, many others. I also drew cartoons on Oregon politics for the Eugene, OR Register Guard from 1992 through 1999.

I published my graphic novel SCAN in 2003, and it's being greeted with terrific reviews. My zinebook My Real Dad came out in 2002. One can buy them both here, if one is so inclined.

My Flash animations have been featured at MTV.com, Wired.com's Animation Express, and Icebox.com, among others. My webfilm Pierre's Guide To Love was turned into a TV ad for Gooey.com; it aired throughout Europe on MTV Europe (no, really!). My animation The Hair Thing was used as 'virtual art' in MTV's Real World: New Orleans house. My animation work is also featured at Ana Voog's Anacam site.

I've done illustration work for IBM, Hewlwtt-Packard, Nike, Half Price Books, Terminix and others.

I live in Portland, Oregon, where it's probably raining even as we speak.

Yes.

At the Bateman Store, you can buy my books, my music CD and T-shirts. At Amazon, you can buy ATTITUDE: The New Subversive Political Cartoonists, which features several of my editorial cartoons and an interview by Ted Rall.

I use Macromedia Flash to do the animation, SoundEdit 16 for the voices and sound effects and PlayerPro to do the music loops (for some insight into the music [and a super-fun interactive toy], visit Batemanimation: Behind The Music).

If you have a True Story that you think might make for a good animation, email it to me as an MP3 file and I'll get back to you. OK? OK.

"(Bateman's editorial cartoons) demystify politics better than all of America's op-ed pundits combined." (Peter Carlson, the Washington Post, 9/1/98)

Currently, I'm drawing four editorial cartoons a week for King Features Syndicate, and working on two separate book projects.

"In regards to your cartoon in Jan. 17 Florida Today paper I found it to be offensive. We are close to canceling our delivery."
