I have been a silent member of the BIG (Brisbane Illustrators Group) online page for a couple of months. I have mostly lurked fascinated and faintly intimidated by the talented illustrators roaming the online group. But when I needed some help with one of my illustrations when applying for an ASA mentorship, the support was immediate and valuable. One of these days I might get up to courage to attend one of their meetings.
The exhibition launched Friday, the 8th of November at the Brisbane City Library and was opened by Peter Allert. The exhibition includes established and upcoming Brisbane illustrators. A diverse range of styles and media such as Photoshop, watercolour, calligraphy, and combinations of these are on display. All the art is beautifully presented in glass display cabinets with more illustrations displayed on the walls.
