Product Description

Product Description

Quentin Blake's illustrations have delighted both children and adults for many years. He is recognised by his contemporaries as the master of his art, and his work is to be seen in children's books, on book jackets, magazines, cartoons and advertisements all over the world. Blake works in a variety of different mediums, drawing on the classic traditions of British, European and American illustrations, but brings his own instinct and vision to his work and continues to break boundaries, set new trends and remain a matchless talent in the field of contemporary illustrations. Blake also reveals his talent for writing. He addresses the development of his own life and work, from the earliest influences, working in different mediums, collaborating with some of the most significant children's writers of the 20th century - most notably Roald Dahl - to his own influential work at the Royal College of Art between 1978 and 1986, first as Head of Illustration and later as a visiting professor. Illustrated throughout with a collection of photographs, drawings, watercolours, cartoons and personal memorabilia - much of which has never been published - this is not only a book for his fans of all ages, but for anyone interested in the illustrator's art.

5.0 out of 5 stars Charts the sucess of this amazing book illustrator, 25 Nov 2000
By A Customer
Quentin Blakes's illustrations are often seen in children's books especially those written by Roald Dahl. His imaginative, manic and candid style of illustration often captures the essence of the scenes portrayed and it is a pleasure to have a book that compiles the different projects that he has handled giving one a wonderful overview of his inspiring career.

5.0 out of 5 stars Magic!, 12 Nov 2007
By Siobhan Fitzgerald (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Few books have delighted and entranced me more than this treasure! There are nuggets of advice for aspiring illustrators as well as a short history of the evolution of Blakes career and illustrating style for the more general public. The pictures are wonderful (of course) but his writing style is fluid, lucid and endearing. An interesting and funny and beautiful book that should be brought back in print!
