HAPPY NEW YEAR

Again this year, a Happy New Year message comes from members of the Island Illustrators Society. To usher in 2018, 10 members of the society illustrated letters using the theme of the Twelve Days of Christmas.

For more than 20 years, the Island Illustrators have created exhibits for the new year.

Last year, they created a series of vintage travel posters in honour of Canada’s 150th anniversary.

The Island Illustrators Society says:

“The society exists to benefit its members and clients through shared information regarding illustrative techniques, business ethics and standards. In order to achieve these goals, the society makes partners of practising illustrators, students, clients and other interested parties.”

The participating artists include: Ilka Bauer, Ruth Bowman, Kristi Bridgeman, Kathy Cameron, Catharine Campbell, Ken Faulks, Diana Grenkow, Lorne Miller, Joanne Thomson and Allegra Vernon.
