The Forty Thieves, Gorker Gallery launch
Must be killer to be an illustrator because everyone would always be inviting you to be in a group show. "Hey I'm putting on a group show, yo. Can you send me, like a drawing, it will be number 39."
WHY CANNOT THE ILLUSTRATORS HAVE THEIR OWN SHOWS? It's not like a zoo where the wombats are a bit boring, sitting in a hollow log all day, so they throw in some red-bum monkeys next door and a jazz orchestra near the kiosk.

Heard of it? It's a new form of street art for us all.

Drawing Fancy – A Collection of Modern Illustration
Curated by Miso and Ghostpatrol, Drawing Fancy takes the whole stencil thing back to basics. Eighteen local and international street artists / illustrators (including Akiro, 8-bit, Acorn, Elph, Slug, Zombie Trash and more) turn their full attention to paper. Traversing the achingly cute to the downright disturbing, these are illustrations that will hang in your parlour long after the ravages of time and elements have erased all but a neon shadow (and the distant memory of certain people’s street cred) from laneway walls.
