Brillustration and the Big Draw
Sep 30th
As part of an illustrators group called Brillustration I thought I would post up the window display by the lovely people at Blackwell’s bookshop on park street Bristol.
we will be taking over their window next saturday 8th of october for the big draw event.
Brillustration will be drawing live in their window, encouraging people to draw making badges and generally encouraging people to join in the fun.
so if your about do come by and visit .
As they have a three for two offer on all Brillustration books (including mine , he , he. ) come and stock up,. you can always save them for the impending winter festival that I won’t yet mention!
we will even sign them for you !
Apologies for the rubbish photography it was a very sunny day.
