COVER IT UP!
An exhibition of book covers, designed and created by Bristol illustrator Dave Bain. Selecting absolute classics and some downright good reads, Dave Bain has put pen to paper, brush to paint and pencil behind ear to produce a rather ripping collection of book covers. This very personal interpretation of well-known stories is sure to bring delight and surprise in this rare solo show.
All artwork is for sale.
