FMI Illustrators at the RWA

This weekend sees an illustration special take place at the Royal West Academy in Bristol. While workshops are taking place on Saturday, Sunday has a drop in experience where members of the public are free to come and see three illustrators in their work environment. People are invited to come along, see how they work, what they do, ask questions and if it takes their fancy, take part in some drawing. Alongside Bristol illustrator Lauren Tobia, two of FMI's illustrators will be taking part, Sean Julian and Donough O' Malley. See the above flyer for all the details and we hope that you can come along!
