Until 25th October. Tony De Saulles is the award-winning illustrator of the best-selling Horrible Science books. The exhibition features illustrations from the series including the latest title: Horrible Science House of Horrors. Come along and be among the first to enjoy cartoons from Tony’s latest book 99 Dead Snowmen, with adults (and their children) in mind.
It seems like everyone is out to get Stan the Snowman. Beset by enemies on all sides he is viciously attacked by an extraordinary array of things – old ladies, robins, super-models, hot water bottles, daffodils, chocolate flakes, evil cannibal snowmen…the list goes on and on!
Also on view will be a selection of the best drawings from a Big Draw workshop led by Tony De Saulles at Holy Trinity Middle School. Tony is a passionate supporter of the Big Draw – which has one aim: to get everyone drawing! The Big Draw is the world’s biggest celebration of drawing. It has grown into a month-long festival running throughout October in all parts of the UK.
And to add to this fabulous display of young creativity will be the shortlisted designs for the Puffin Post’s ‘Design a Birthday Card for Puffin’ challenge. This beloved children’s literary magazine is turning 45 this year and youngsters aged 5–14 from around the country have entered with their wonderful drawings. The winner will be announced at the Festival on Saturday 27 October.
Come and meet Tony de Saulles and the young artists at the preview: Monday 8 October, 18:00-20:00
