Dave Snooty triumphs at Henley is a 2010 by Nick Newman, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This drawing shows a rowboat packed with people at a party. One guy in a top hat stands at the front, holding a megaphone labeled "Oi! Key!" while others sit or lean over the side, looking drunk or tipsy. The water around them is wavy, and the boat looks like it might sink. On the shore, there’s a building with a balcony and a speaker playing music. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show movement and chaos. The faces and expressions are exaggerated, making the scene feel silly and lively. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of this artist’s work.
The preparatory cartoon titled *Dave Snooty triumphs at Henley* by Nick Newman, created in 2010, depicts a satirical scene featuring Michael 'Oiky' Gove, George Osborne, David Willetts, Oliver Letwin, John 'Redweird' Redwood, and Boris Johnson, rendered in pen and black ink on paper. Published in *Private Eye*, the drawing humorously references the Henley boat race victory of David Cameron’s Conservative Party in 2010.
