Brainstorming in Melbourne

by Alex Hallatt

I had a day to come up with ideas for Arctic Circle yesterday and started by cycling to the Botanic Gardens and wandering around the recently refurbished Guilfoyle’s Volcano. I then biked on to the State Library where the children’s book illustration exhibition sucked up over an hour of my time. Great original art, sketchbooks and interviews by illustrators including the charming Leigh Hobbs and the awe-inspiring Shaun Tan.
