Free talk by illustrator Bob Moulder on the highs and lows of visual storytelling in an age of changing styles and new technology.
Bob Moulder is coming to Mickleover Library on Thursday 18 February for a talk he's calling The Life and Times of an Illustrator. It runs from 5pm to 6pm, so it's a proper after-work thing rather than a late one.
The talk is framed as an account of the highs and lows of visual storytelling in an age of changing styles and new technology. If you've ever wondered how an illustrator's day-to-day actually works, or how the job shifts when the tools and the tastes around it do, that's exactly where this sits. It's less a formal lecture and more a first-hand look at a creative career from someone who's lived it.
There's a second talk to keep in mind too: A Candle in Place of the Sun, which Moulder is also giving for free. That one is devoted to Joseph Wright of Derby and his iconic Orrery painting, so if you've got a soft spot for one of the city's most famous painters, there's a bit of local art history to get your teeth into alongside the broader talk on illustration.

It's free to attend, but booking is essential, so you'll need to sort your place in advance rather than just turning up on the night. You can pop into Mickleover Library in person or give them a ring on 01332 647884 to get yourself on the list. The talk runs from 5pm to 6pm on Thursday 18 February.
