Beyond the Page by Sir Quentin Blake
The author is one of the best-known illustrators in the world, creating iconic characters for amongst others Russell Hoban, Joan Aiken, Michael Rosen, and Roald Dahl. In this title, he writes about his projects and describes his working processes, his collaborators, his travels, and his various projects and commissions.
Quentin Blake taught for many years at the Royal College of Art, where he was head of the Illustration Department from 1978 to 1986. As well as being known for his collaborations with writers such as Russell Hoban and Roald Dahl, his own creations, such as Mister Magnolia, have contributed to his reputation as one of the world's leading illustrators and an inspiration for artists everywhere. He was, in the words of The Guardian, 'already a national institution' when he was appointed the first Children's Laureate in 1999. He is particularly engaged in enabling art to reach a young audience, as was the case with the immensely popular touring exhibition 'Tell Me a Picture' held at the National Gallery in 2001.
