This organisation produces some interesting illustrated lectures. Here Matthew Taylor explores the meaning of 21st century enlightenment, and how the idea might help us meet the challenges we face today.
Scott Pilgrim – an awesome comic and now an awesome film – is now the subject of even awesomer (forgive me) illustrated posters. The first was created by Martin Ansin, signed by many of the cast of the film and limited to 565 (including its variant) but, as you can imagine, it’s now sold out. Ansin also created the stunning poster for last years Stanley Kubrick exhibition at the Light House cinema, Smithfield.

We are still in the throws of recession and we can’t all afford paper. Cleverly, Mike Stilkey uses discarded books as his canvas so this isn’t an issue.
The eclectic music/arts/culture/food festival Electric Picnic is just around the corner – and as the days tick by more names are confirmed on the weekend bill. If you haven’t been convinced to tag along – how about some literary incentive?
Mindfield – the spoken word wing of EP – presents comic book gurus Philip Barrett, Emma Vieceli, Pat Mills, Steve Bell and Dr Mel Gibson talking up a storm about what they know best.
Our intrepid and esteemed panel will cheerily dissect and debate the “sequential art” scene as it and was: offering thoughts, opinions and recollections on a wide range of topics, including: Classic British comics, Manga, Bande dessinée, Girls’ comics, John Major’s underpants, the Irish small presses, and much, much more. Masked and caped crusaders may also get an occasional mention…
If you find yourself in the middle of a field in Stradbally on Saturday 4 September (at 5pm) tag along to hear some of the most informed folk from all sides of the spectrum.
