You’re invited! Come and help us celebrate local artist and author Bryan Ballinger’s TWO newest book releases, Counting Cows and The Story of a Pig Named Joe and His Quest to Be Fancy.
This family event begins at 6 p.m. and will include a visit from Bryan, readings of the picture book, book sales and signing, refreshments, a craft and a photo op.
About the artist: Bryan Ballinger, also known as “Breadwig,” is involved in various artistic practices, including creating murals, constructing sculptures and toys, publishing children’s books, and participating in animations. Breadwig’s style is unique, characterized by his caricatures of animals from around the world. However, he doesn’t limit his creativity to just one subject matter; instead, he embraces the absurd, abstract, and whimsical.
Although Breadwig’s art and career have flourished in Indiana, he has made his mark across the United States, residing and working in New York, Vermont, Ohio, Washington, Illinois, and Indiana. As an illustrator, Breadwig has worked with clients such as Disney, Wal-Mart, EltonJohn.com, Nintendo, and Harley Davidson, among many others. His resume is filled with notable achievements, including his role as the 3D Design and Illustration Lead for Big Idea Productions on the popular cartoon series ‘Veggie Tales.’
Recently, Bryan Ballinger received the 2023-24 Indiana Governor’s Artist Award.
