Degree Show 2010
The final show for the 2010 graduates took place at Pittville Studios campus and was our best yet with even more books, prints and artworks for sale and a packed room enjoying the lively atmosphere, hospitality and friendly welcome provided by the graduates.
If you missed the show you can still catch the London exhibition which will take place on the 15th and 16th June at CMW Communications, 90 Tottenham Court Road W1.
London Book Fair 2010, 19-21 April at Earl's Court
For the third year running, Cheltenham Illustration ran the Pittville Press stand at the London Book Fair. This year we were instrumental in setting up an event where publishers and illustrators could meet and show their work, making valuable contacts, receiving advice on their portfolios and experiencing first hand how the publishing industry works.(left.) Next year's event promises to be even better, as the event was a great success with high praise from all parties involved.
Kieren Phelps, Head of Illustration at the University of Gloucestershire (at right) hosted a special event at the Cheltenham Literature Festival on 10 Oct 2009. Sarah McIntyre, John Dunning and Garen Ewing talked about their new books and answered questions from the audience. The event highlighted the growing interest within the publishing industry in graphic novels and illustrated books.
