9 by 5 Exhibition

Illustrators Australia are launching their latest exhibition titled 9 by 5. Each member of the IA was given a small plank of wood 12.5 cm by 22.5 cm high, and asked to create and illustration based on the theme connected. Being a member of IA I was given the oppurtunity to submit a piece and it seems to have made the cut.
All of art works will be auctioned off on the 25th of October at the Gallery Space 39. The event kicks off at 6pm. So if you are in Melbourne this Thursday come on down to level 2, building number 39 on Little Collins Street and check out some art.
The auction is part of the launch party for first annual Illustrators Australia festival. The night will also see the launch of the newly upgrade IA website and the launch of the 10th edition of the Illustrators Australia Book.
So a fun time should be had by all. I have uploaded my image for the exhibition. If you would like to check out some of the other works that will be on display on the night check out the link to the IA website! http://www.illustratorsaustralia.com/cpg/

Picturesque launch

Last Friday night was the launch of the Picturesque Exhibition.
It was held at the North Melbourne town hall, and it looked great!
The exhibition is a collection of works produced by past and current North Melbourne Institute of TAFE students. As I mentioned in my last post all works relate to the theme of identity.The exhibition has a real circus / carnival feel, which really suited the complimentary performances, held on the night.

The exhibition is layout out with 16 large panels (80 cm by 200cm) all standing side by side in a slight arch. This ark of panels encircles two display cases that look like miniature circus tents. These display units have a colourful collection of dioramas and painted dolls.

The show is open till the 12th of October, so check it out!
