The Glories of Great British Comic Art & Illustration

Posted: December 15, 2010

Tonight I am going to see the fabulous Christmas exhibition of original illustration art at The Illustration Art Gallery, 8 Duke Street, St. James’s, London SW1. For one week only you can marvel at the glorious originals and affordable framed artworks (from as little as £75, with most under £1,000) by some of Britain’s greatest 20th century illustrators who once adorned our comics, magazines and picture books. Among the artists included in the show are: Angus McBride, Frank Bellamy, Frank Hampson, Graham Coton, Ron Embleton, James McConnell, John Millar Watt, Jim Holdaway, Reg Smythe, Phil Mendoza, Wilf Hardy, Don Lawrence, Oliver Frey, Cecil Doughty, Jack Hayes and Fortunino Matania. This lavish display continues till Sunday 19 December and is open daily 10am to 7pm. Go on, treat yourself!
