Melbourne Writers Festival – Drawn From Life

by Alex Hallatt

The Melbourne Writers Festival has just come to an end and it was great to be involved this year. Oslo Davis edited a Drawn From Life newspaper of autobiographical cartoons, including mine. We started handing it out at Flinders St Station on Friday 26th August and I did a bit of live drawing (something I am not used to). I did even more on Friday when I was one of the “artists” in “Do Not Feed the Artists” in Fed Square. It was great to get over a personal fear of mine – drawing in public.
