The tent where the authors were giving talks...

Look who dropped by, no other than legendary Australian cartoonist Bruce Petty!

Another bad joke from Jules: Check the kid rolling his eyes!

"Illustrator Duel": Three illustrators given 5 minutes to draw a random picture from three clues picked by random people in the crowd: "Cat", "Dancing", "Zombie". On your marks, get set, GO!

James Foley's 5mn drawing: Excellent

Sarah Davis' 5mn drawing: Excellent!
