Illustration: Comics, Covers and Children’s is an exhibition of uniquely imaginative, published illustration from the members of Illustrators Ireland. This creative work focuses on the variety and ingenuity of illustration found in publishing today. Our members are involved in the cutting edge of comic book and graphic novel development, the strong design of book covers, and the delightful interior illustrations for well-loved picture books.
