ILLUSTRATOR VISITS:
We have been lucky enough to have the opportunity to invite illustrators Marc McBride and Mandy Foot to our school for Book Week this year. They have both illustrated a range of popular picture books and novels.
About Marc
Marc McBride has illustrated over fifty book covers and countless magazines, as well as producing artwork for advertising campaigns. He has a solid design background in both advertising and film, and won the West Australian Film and Television Award for Best Art Director.

About Mandy
Mandy Foot is a self-proclaimed animal nut and horse lover and works in a studio also occupied by two sheepdogs, Cody and Mav, and a cat affectionately known as Kung Fu Maow Maow. She completed a Bachelor of Design specialising in illustration at the University of SA in 1992. For the last 15 years, she has particularly relished the work produced for the Adelaide Zoo Education Service as this gave her the opportunity to draw just about every animal you can think of.
