On July 5th, 1992, at the behest of celebrated humor artist Boots Reynolds, western cartoonists from all over the US and Canada gathered at the convention center in Cody, Wyoming for the first ever Cowboy Cartoonists Art Show.
After three days of laughs, pranks and midnight deliberations, this like-minded group agreed to join forces and form an association to promote their work and educate people about their unique profession
They rendezvoused once again in December of that year, this time in Las Vegas, Nevada. While the top rodeo professionals were making history at the National Finals Rodeo, the Cowboy Cartoonists International was born just down the road.
Over the next decade and beyond, CCi strove to meet its goals with purpose, preserverence and a dedication to always keeping things fun. Membership has continued to increase each year as fresh new talent is drawn to the world of Western cartooning.
The CCi artists have seen their work exhibited in prestigious art shows and museums nationwide, major magazines and newspapers have featured the group and its work, and a wide assortment of licensed books, apparel and gift products have been eagerly received by an ever-growing and always appreciative audience.
