See three incredible illustrators in an interactive drawing showdown! Featuring a whirlwind of live, and potentially zany, doodles from Bill Hope (You & Me and the Peanut Butter Beast), Eleri Harris (A Loo of One’s Own) and David Conley (That Book About Life Before Dinosaurs). Guaranteed to ignite imaginations with audience suggestions part of the fun, and a reminder that art is for all.
Recommended ages 6+.
David Conley is an award winning author and illustrator. He has been navigating the world of self-publishing for five years and has released 13 books in that time. David uses graphic illustrations and clear, concise writing to communicate big ideas to little people. He performs solo book shows, runs workshops and communicates with kids about the benefits of learning, questioning and creating works about the world around us. David's latest book is That Book About Life Before Dinosaurs.
Eleri Harris is an Eisner award-winning cartoonist, journalist and editor working on Ngunnawal and Ngambri Country in Australia’s national capital. Her non-fiction history, science and reportage comics have been exhibited and published all over the world. Eleri is the former Features Editor at comics website and magazine, The Nib, and the author of the picture book, A Loo of One’s Own: A Mostly True Tale of Australia’s First Female Parliamentarians. She loves drawing tiny pictures in her studio at Gorman Arts Centre, playing make-believe with her kids and walking in the bush.
Bill Hope is an artist and illustrator living in the Blue Mountains just outside of Sydney. Ten years into his career, Bill has established himself as one of the most versatile illustrators and graphic recorders working in the industry. His command of traditional drawing has given him the flexibility to work across a broad range of disciplines from storyboarding to children’s books, live illustration, technical diagrams, editorial and animation. His graphic novel An Interior Life won the Golden Ledger award for Australian Comics. He is here with Andy Griffiths in the brilliantly original children's book You & Me and the Peanut Butter Beast.
