We’re celebrating the 200th anniversary of the birth of Charles Dickens with the Museum of London! In the UK’s first major exhibition on the author for over 40 years, the Museum of London is recreating the atmosphere of Victorian London through sound and projections and more. You’ll be taken on a haunting journey to discover the city that inspired his writings. Paintings, photographs, costume and objects illustrate themes that Dickens wove into his works, while rarely seen manuscripts including Bleak House and David Copperfield – written in the author’s own hand – offer clues to his creative genius.
Get into the spirit of London with these great offers from TheHobbyWarehouse!
A quick post for all the budding fantasy artists out there, the fantasy art show ‘illuxcon 2010′ has taken place and there are some great images, posts and news about the show online.
As a traditional and digital artist myself I wanted to highlight the ‘illuxcon 2010′ Facebook page. There are some great photographs of the participants and the superb artwork that has been on show (this year and previous years). There are also links that you can follow to see some amazing artwork / photographs posted by the people at the show and is worth a look for some of the artwork alone.

If you have not visited this years Focus on Imaging Show at the NEC then you really have missed a treat. The big boys really were making a splash, with a very strong presence from Nikon who were proudly showing of the HDR video capability of the new D90. The quality of the presentation and video all filmed on the D90 was simply stunning.
Canon had a large stand but really for me it was the size and scale of the Panasonic presence that caught my eye, not least their party piece giant camera. They were launching the world’s first interchangeable lens system camera with touch control shooting, so keep an eye out for the Lumix DMC-G2.
We at Impact Books are very excited to be taking a stand at Exeter Comic Expo at the Southgate Hotel on 13th Febuary next year.
