Get along to the Abbotsford Convent this coming Friday (20 October) for the opening of an exhibition of original illustrations from the picture books of Tony Wilson.

Over 15 years in the children’s book industry, Tony has written some cracker books, and have collaborated with some cracking illustrators to match. This is a celebration of these illustrators and the books they have worked on.

Featured in the exhibition are sketches and finished artwork by David Cornish, Tom Jellett, Sue DeGennaro, Jules Madden, Andrew McLean, Lucia Masciullo (illustrator of Emo the Emu, pictured), and Laura Wood.

The exhibition is at St Heliers Street Gallery, Abbotsford Convent (Abbotsford, VIC) and runs through to the 19th of November. The opening runs from 5 – 8pm on Friday 20 October at Cam’s Bar.

Kids are welcome and there is a big lawn to run around on.
