Dean Gorissen

Dean Gorissen recently took part in the Illustrators Australia Annual 9x5 exhibition and auction at Space 39 in Melbourne. Participants are sent a piece of wood measuring, surprisingly, 9”x5” and a theme, this years’ being ‘The Year Of The Rat’. The Auction, led by ‘Keating! The Musical’ creator Casey Bennetto, was loud and frenetic, with a number of pieces garnering some highly competitive bidding, including this one. (The real reason for the night is, of course, to provide an excuse for a lot of illustrators who rarely venture out to get together, shoot the breeze, relax and, ok, have a drink or two)
