One Very Tired Wombat is on display at Northcote Library in Melbourne from 2 – 31 October. For those of you not in or around Melbourne, I’ve included a few photos. (You can see a little video of the exhibit on my Facebook Page.)
In addition to fourteen framed scratchboard illustrations, I also curated a little display case as a sneak peak into how I created the book. I included a few early sketches from the “big sneeze” and draft book mock-ups at different stages. I also used the space to demonstrate how I create a scratchboard illustration with an in-progress piece and a sampling of my tools.
Lucky for everyone, the case was a lot smaller than I expected so visitors are spared my sketchy pages of color-maps, preliminary drawings, internal sketches, and scribbled-on manuscripts!
I left a big handful of bookmarks for anyone who visits. Please let me know if you happen to make it by the library.
Renée has written and illustrated seven picture books including award-winning Once I Heard a Little Wombat, and Wombat Big, Puggle Small.
