Author / Illustrator Event: Chris Kennett
6pm, Tuesday 1 September
The Book Cow Bookshop
Green Square Kingston
Join us the team at The Book Cow for a special meet and greet and Q&A with award-winning Australian illustrator Chris Kennett!
Chris has been drawing for as long as he can remember, turning a childhood love of pencils and characters into a 20+ year career spanning animation, character design and children's books.
From working on The Day My Butt Went Psycho to illustrating the beloved Star Wars Little Golden Books, Chris has brought his quirky characters and unmistakable style to some seriously fun projects. He's also the illustrator behind the hugely popular School of Monsters series with Sally Rippin, Mr Luke's Magic Library, Genie Snail and many more.
Come along to meet Chris, discover what goes on behind the drawings, hear about his journey from animation to children's publishing, and ask your own questions during the Q&A. A fantastic opportunity for teacher librarians, educators, aspiring artists, young readers and anyone interested in how a passion for drawing can become a career.
Whether you're a fan of his books or simply love a good story about turning creativity into a career, we'd love to see you there!
