Last Tuesday I went to the launch of a new illustration exhibition at Odd Bar in the Northern Quarter.  I'd definately recommend popping in if you've got a few spare minutes, there are some really nice pieces - I particulary liked the typographic work.  Its on for a month and its all at very affordable prices, I you wanted to take some home with you.
