Organised by the illustrator Andrew Baker and animator Linda Hughes (working together as Paper Galaxy) who have persuaded more than 40 artists to contribute works for this special exhibition at Southampton Solent University’s Concourse Gallery, to say, “Thank you, Mr Lear”.
‘Happy Birthday Edward Lear’ will feature work by an astonishing range of over 40 artists and illustrators, including Glen Baxter, Peter Blegvad, Geoff Grandfield, Times cartoonist Morten Mørland, Simon Pemberton, John Vernon Lord and Vaughan Oliver, who created the artwork for all of the Pixies’ albums.
