Go Graphic!

Yesterday we went to the opening of 'Go Graphic' - an exhibition featuring award winning Tasmanian graphic artists, illustrators and film makers. It's on in the wonderful space that is the Allport Library & Museum of Fine Arts at the State Library of Tasmania in Murray St. It's on from today until October 18 and well worth a long look. My favourite bit was getting to see Madeleine Rosca's sketches for 'Hollow Fields' - super, super cool.

The exhibition is running in conjunction with the State Library's 'Graphic Novels - Try Something Different' program. If you're looking for some ideas for which graphic novel to read next have a look at their website http://www.statelibrary.tas.gov.au/readrelax/graphicnovels
or come into the shop and grab a flyer - there is a set of 3 illustrated by Christopher Downes and they should adorn all attractive walls.
