This a rare opportunity to see pages of comic book art as the artists have drawn them, before they have been scanned, shrunk down and coloured for printing. There will also be some art from other surprise Australian artists!

Ben regularly appears at comic conventions and writers festivals in Australia and New Zealand. His recent works include designs for the Royal Australian Mint and animation for the ABC. Ben is also the creative genius behind this year's CLAW program/poster! Jon RedJ Sommariva has been producing dynamic comic pages for major US publishers for several years. He is currently producing art for the Image Comics superhero title Gemini. The exhibition opens on Friday 22nd of August at 9am and runs every day until Sunday 31st. There will be an opportunity to meet the featured artists on Thursday 28th of August at 6:30pm so get in and join the fun and kick on to the official CLAW event at King O'Malley's Pubat 7pm.
