Today is Quentin Blake's birthday and he's only 80 years young! For those of you who don't know who he is, firstly that's astounding because he is so very famous! But, if you've been living on Mars for the past 80 years, he is a most studpendous illustrator and a complete dude! His beautiful, highly stylised illustrations are completely unique, often a bit subversive, and usually filled with colour and movement. If you know his work you would recognise it immediately. Whilst he is most famously known for his collaborations with Roald Dahl, you might also have read his own books, which include Mr Magnolia, Mrs Armitage, Cockatoos, and my personal favourite, Loveykins.
Happy Birthday Quentin!
What now?
