It’s already been eighteen months since Julia and I started working together as Gurr Illustration. It’s been a very exciting time for us, not least because of the arrival of the mini-Gurrilla, Joseph, last year. We have been involved in some fantastic projects in the last year and a half and to celebrate here are a selection of images from that time.
The world’s largest ever city read launched today with The Bristol Story - a 200 page comic telling the history of Bristol from the earliest times to the modern day. Over 140,000 books and reading guides are being given away free in the city.
The Bristol Great Reading Adventure - now in its sixth year - aims to get more people reading. The Bristol Story, written by Eugene Byrne and drawn by Simon Gurr, uses the comic strip form to present the history of the city in a new and exciting way, accessible to readers of 11 and over. The project is led by Bristol Cultural Development Partnership (BCDP) - for more information see their website.
