GRAD SHOW ALERT! MA Children's Book Illustration exhibition at Candid Arts Trust!

Illustration by Toby Rampton

I have just completed my MA in Children’s Book Illustration at Cambridge School of Art! More about that another time!
I just wanted to share that our grad show is at Candid Arts Trust (near Angel tube) in London, from 13th - 17th February 2024.

Come and forage through the exciting jungle of work from around 80 graduating children’s book illustration students from Cambridge School of Art! The exhibits on show include picturebooks (‘dummy books’ which are prototypes containing a few finished spreads and lots of rough drawings), posters, lots of book characters peeking from between shelves, and I’m sure there’ll be some character sculptures and other interesting bits and bobs too!

See below for an idea of what the exhibition will be like from a reel I made last year at the same event. The only difference is there are a lot more exhibitors this year. Presumably the lovely cafe will still be next door so I can commence my one-person cake-eating contest.

I’ll be exhibiting my picturebook dummy A Friend at Fable Hill’, and my comic zine dummy ‘The Neurodivergent Diaries’.

Here’s our grad students’ website.

And our course Instagram account where our work is featured in the lead up to our exhibition!

We hope you can join us and see what we’ve been up to!
