We would love to invite you to the Book Launch Party for ‘To Fly Up High in the Big Blue Sky’ by Ned Sevil and the Tent Pegs at the Big House Tram and Warehouse in Coburg North in Melbourne on Sunday November 22nd, 2-5pm! We will have an afternoon tea party, big drawing tables for all and music and talks throughout the afternoon. This is a special book – a family collaboration through time. To tell a tale through bringing together a collection of Ned Sevil’s ink drawings and characters, years after he died in 2010.
All the artworks in the book were made between 2000 and 2010 and have been collaboratively put together by Ned’s brother artist and book designer Tom Sevil (aka Civil), his mother, psychologist Chris Mason, and his sister-in-outlaw poet Lou Smith – who collectively make up the ‘Tent Pegs’. It has been made with love to celebrate the beautiful, playful spirit that was Ned, and to share the incredible collection of artworks he has left behind.
Follow along with the character in the story who seeks advice and comfort from friends. True to the fable form, there is a whimsical quality about this story with a main protagonist who is sweet and fey yet determined in their quest To Fly Up High in the Big Blue Sky.
It is a story of courage, determination and friendship. And for those readers who are happy and ready to talk about more complex themes, it is the perfect springboard for discussing more deeply the notion of death.
We really hope this book finds a special place in your lives.
Tom Sevil, Lou Smith and Chris Mason
