SUMMARY:The Secret Life of Cartoons
DESCRIPTION:This talk draws back the veil on the dark arts of cartoon drawing and throws light on the multitude of visual techniques\, tricks\, hacks\, symbols\, strategies and short cuts employed by cartoonists to raise a smile or tell a story.  Learn the international language of cartoons\, with advice on the best use of grawlixes\, plewds\, squeens and waftatrons.  Find out what happens in the “missing frame”.  Discover what an Italian would do with a fumetti\, a German with a Zeichengeschichte and an Icelander with a strimlateiknimynd.  There will be laughs! There will be learning! There will be LIVE DRAWING! \nDates and Locations \nTuesday 9 September 2025 Launceston (TAS) \nSaturday 20 September 2025 Noosa (QLD) \nClick on your preferred location above for more details and to book tickets.

SUMMARY:The Mistress of Menace and the Master of Suspense
DESCRIPTION:Daphne Du Maurier and Alfred Hitchcock had much in common. Du Maurier is sometimes described as a romantic novelist\, but this is completely misleading. Like Hitchcock\, she dealt with themes of loneliness\, gender\, fear\, suspense and gothic imagery. They both built compelling and complex emotional landscapes for their characters. Although they never met\, the pair produced three cultural landmarks of the 20th century: Jamaica Inn\, Rebecca and The Birds`. In this lecture John will explore Hitchcock’s The Birds (1963)\, looking closely at some essential scenes in the film comparing the masterful techniques used on the page and on screen. \nDates and Locations \nSunday 14 September 2025 Cairns (QLD) \nWednesday 17 September 2025 Geelong (VIC) \nTuesday 23 September 2025 Canberra (ACT) \nMonday 29 September 2025 Fleurieu (SA) \nClick on your preferred location above for more details and to book tickets.

SUMMARY:Oh No Dear\, That's Not Funny – Cartoonists on Cartooning 
DESCRIPTION:Multi talented British cartoonist\, and former UK Strip Cartoonist of the Year\, Harry Venning escorts his audience through the peaks and pitfalls of his profession\, supported by visual and verbal contributions from such luminaries as Matt Groening\, Dr.Seuss\, Charles M. Schulz and Gary Larson. Entertaining and Informative in equal measure\, the topics covered include rejection\, procrastination\, deadlines\, artificial intelligence\, professional envy\, censorship\, and the cartoon community’s response to the Charlie Hebdo murders of 2015. Harry delights his audience with a hands-on demonstration of his cartooning skills. Some may recall his weekly cartoon strip -“Clare In The Community” which ran in the Guardian for 25 years. \nDates and Locations \nMonday 15 September 2025 Northern Rivers (NSW) \nWednesday 17 and Thursday 18 September 2025 Brisbane (QLD) \nSaturday 27 September 2025 Rockhampton (QLD) \nClick on your preferred location above for more details and to book tickets.
