Quentin Blake

When you think of Roald Dahl, what images come to mind? The loose, sketchy watercolors of Quentin Blake of course. And I am pleased that not only is he still alive and doing artwork, but he will be receiving a knighthood by the Queen this year.
He has also devoted his art and time to many charities including murals in UK hospitals and an international organization called Survival International (supporting indigenous rights). Clearly a guy who is not only talented but a humanitarian as well.


And to top it off, you can buy Quentin Blake fabric/wallpaper. Quentin is a one man
band!




Always good to see long term illustrators get the recognition they deserve.  And a good news story to start out 2013!
