From this Thursday night, Green-Wood Gallery are placing works by 17 local illustrators at your fingertips, showcasing some of the Melbourne artists we hold dear. The Drawing Machine mashes sculptural and sound installations from the likes of Al Stark, Dylan Martorell, Tai Snaith and Nathan Gray, alongside fine-line work with Bonsai and Two and Deam and Drew.

Side Project and Junior work together to produce character-based illustrations on salvaged wood surfaces, and Tom O'Hern is an eclectic player, whose work spans from printmaking to large-scale mural production. Other work includes photo-realism and self-published comics, which fuse complex illustrations with a narrative focus.

Tai Snaith, as well as exhibition curator Ghostpatrol have chosen forest animals as a starting point to develop a beautiful mélange of innocence and sinister undertones. The exhibition may require a small amount of physical effort to reach the South Melbourne location, but see it as an excursion, a rare opportunity to witness breakthrough talent from so many genres.
