I recently discovered this brilliant exhibition that celebrates the world and illustrations of picture books today.
It showcased original artwork, sketches and drawings by more than 40 Australian illustrators, including Bob Graham, Jeannie Baker, Ann James, Shaun Tan, Graeme Base, Leigh Hobbs and Terry Denton.
Didn't get to go? Never mind, because you can still follow the links and learn how illustrators create pictures, generate ideas, and create the stunning works of art that adorn our picture books. Even though I'm not an illustrator, I'm fascinated by how illustrators approach the enormous task of interpreting and illustrating a picture book.
To celebrate, Look! The art of picture books today

Wow... how gorgeous. I wonder if they'll bring it to Qld. ??
Thanks Charmaine. I was so impressed I just had to share.
Hey Michelle,
Thanks for your comment! I hope the exhibition comes to Brissy. I've always had an enormous respect for picture book illustrators but I learnt by watching the links, just how much thought and detail goes into the whole illustrating process.
The exhibition exudes quality works of art and represents how illustrators work toward representing the text, connecting their art work emotionally, and refining their own unique style.
I have heard mention of it coming to Brisbane - the State Library of Queensland, I believe later in the year or next year, but I can't tell you the dates. I understand that when it's here they are also going to have a concurrent exhibition of Queensland illustrators.
There is an exhibition of work by Shaun Tan, Katherine Battersby, Michelle Pike and others on the walls and around the Central Brisbane Library in Adelaide Street at present until July 31st.
Hi Peter,
Thanks for letting us know about the exhibitions.I can't wait for it to arrive here!As for the QLD author/illustrators that you mentioned, I'm a huge fan and I've had the pleasure of meeting Katherine Battersby and Michelle Pike.
Hi Renee,
I was just going to add info about the Queensland exhibition. Except Peter beat me to it. We discussed these exhibitions and artists the other day at the SCBWI meeting at Brisbane Square library. You'll have to join up. Hope fully I'll see you at the next meeting on 16th October.
Thanks Karen. Joining SCBWI is on my to do list. I always check out their links and drool.
