Storyfest Festival Guide 2020

ART EXHIBIT Storyfest invite you to join the remarkable illustrator Bruce Whatley at Helensvale Library as he shares the journey of creating the picture book. From his comical illustrations of the much loved Diary of a Wombat through to his highly technical and detailed illustrations from Ruben , the development of the illustrative narrative is a journey that is intriguing for budding illustrators and avid readers alike. Experience the stages of the creative process with 3D models and computer generated mock ups as Bruce shares his methodology of combing modern technology with the beauty of the traditional mark on paper. This exhibit will be open to the public from Tuesday 3 March through to Friday 17 April. During this year’s Somerset Storyfest, there are several opportunities to interact: THE JOURNEY OF A PICTURE BOOK Bruce Whatley
