And now for something completly different...
We here at Ellison Hawker Bookshop not only dig on books, we also love the tunes. Good tunes. Sexy tunes. So it is with great joy that I say to you -
HAPPY PRESETS DAY!
HAPPY PRESETS DAY!
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.
