Alexyz the sketch man, in the home of Bradman Franky Fernandes
ADELAIDE: Dilip Sardesai has always been the best known Goan connection to Indian cricket and by extension world cricket.
But now a smiling bearded Goan with an effervescent twinkle in his eye and a resident of Siolim, Alexyz Fernandes, or just Alexyz, has done more with his sketch pens and pencils that very few cricketers have done with their bats.
Cartoonist Alexyz has been invited by Club India International SA Inc. to exhibit his works on Sir Donald Bradman on February 19, 2012 in Adelaide, South Australia.
The award-winning cartoonist with his career spanning over three decades and a wealth of experience in caricaturing recently conducted two exhibitions in New Zealand and in Melbourne and is all set to show case his works in the home town of the legendary Sir Donald Bradman . The author of four books and the recipient of the 5th Dr Pedro Alexandre Amor Cabral Memorial Award for 2011, Alexyz has also won awards in Portugal and the United States.
People from everywhere have been interested in Alexyz’ drawings, and he has presented many exhibitions across the world, including the House of Commons, in London.
Alexyz has some of his best work depicting the legendary Sir Donald Bradman on display at the Bradman Museum in Bowral, New South Wales. Some of his works from this collection will be exhibited at the The Sir Donald Bradman Cricketoons cum funshop in Adelaide.
The Adelaide event will be celebrating Indian talent and draw the Indian and non-Indian community together to, learn new skills and strengthen bonds' say Club India International SA Inc. President Maxwell Taylor.
