Illustration Forum 20 February 2015 Falmouth University

This year’s forum has an underlying literary theme; all the speakers have been involved in the interpretation and production of classic works of literature, including explorations of the formal properties of Haiku, Ted Hughes’ Crow, the poetry of Emily Dickinson, The Bagvad Gita, Anthony Hope’s The Prisoner of Zenda and Finnegan’s Wake.

Speakers this year are high profile practitioners from both illustration and publishing: Dan Fern (Professor Emeritus Royal College of Art), illustrators Anna Bhushan and Mireille Fauchon, John Vernon Lord (Professor of Illustration at Brighton) and Max Porter (Senior Editor at Granta Books).
