Edwards was illustrating for The National Times/National Times on Sunday from 1986 until it ceased publication in 1998, when he moved to the Sun-Herald.
[6] In 1998 he won a Walkley Award for 'Best Artwork' for a cartoon, 'Hanna, I Hardly Knew You', published in The Sydney Morning Herald on 13 September 1998.
