On the front cover of The Age newspaper today there is a stunning illustration and poem, ‘From the Shadows’, written in response to the Victorian bushfires by the amazing Graeme Base, author and illustrator of incredible picture books such as Animalia and Enigma.
Prints of the illustration can purchased through The Age’s photo sales department with all profits of the sales going to the Red Cross Bushfire Appeal 2009.
I think Graeme Base is a wonderful artist and in case you didn’t notice you can see he has hidden two koalas-mother and baby- in the tree and it looks absolutely adorable!
