Back in February I photographed Quentin Blake to mark the launch of the new Quentin Blake Centre for Illustration.
Growing up, my bedroom shelves were filled with books brought to life by Quentin’s illustrations, so spending a few hours with him in his Earl’s Court home felt pretty surreal. We chatted about art, family, and my two boys, and then completely unexpectedly, he picked up a bamboo quill and started sketching them!
A few days later it arrived in the post and now hangs proudly in the boys playroom! Definitely something I’ll treasure forever!
Swipe to the last slide to see it in its new home! 🖤
