Home > Quentin Blake

He is well-known for illustrating numerous children's books, including the works of Roald Dahl. He has also written and illustrated a titles of his own.

His artistic style is very distinct, composed of fast, scribbly ink lines and loose sploches of watercolor. The spontaneity of his style is achieved by allowing himself a freehand at first, and then tracing those elements from the first draft onto subsequent drafts.

In 1999 he was made the first Children's Laureate in the UK.

In 2002 he was awarded the Hans Christian Andersen Medal for his contributions to children's book illustration.
