Arthur Black
was born in Toronto in 1943 and reborn in 1995 when he came to his
senses and moved to a Gulf Island nestled in the Strait of Georgia
between Vancouver, the city, and Vancouver, the island. En route, he
passed through various incarnations–door-to-door encyclopedia salesman,
oil tanker deckhand, cow wrangler at the Ontario Public Stock Yards,
sheet metal apprentice, plumber’s assistant, live nude model (in his
dreams).
For 19 years he hosted Basic Black, a national CBC program dedicated to
wackiness. He currently hosts two television shows, Weird Homes (the
winner of a Golden Globe and nominated for a Gemini) and Weird Wheels,
both of which are self-explanatory. Arthur also writes a weekly humour
column syndicated in over 50 Canadian newspapers and has authored eight
books, including Plaudits, Kudos and Huzzahs. Two of Arthur’s books won
the Stephen Leacock Medal–Canada’s highest award for humour. His other
awards include National Magazine Award for Humour, ACTRA "Nelly" Award
for Best Opinion/Commentary, Cadogan Award for Best Weekly Newspaper
Column, and Ohio State Award for Best Children’s Series. |
