Quentin Blake's Fantastic Journeys

Description: "Savor the work of the well-loved and lauded illustrator Quentin Blake in this keepsake collection of fun, quirky drawings that will delight both longtime devotees and emerging young fans. A chef in mid-fall, balancing a towering, toppling cake. A bespectacled gentleman riding a multi-wheeled bike, with a man on his back juggling eggs. Known for their whimsy and wit and uncanny ability to convey worlds of expression with only the scantest of line, Quentin Blake's illustrations have long been linked to the work of storytellers such as Roald Dahl, but in this book they shine on their own."--

Review Quotes: As ever, this artist promises creative and madcap catastrophe, but readers can rest assured--the turn of each page offers unexpected (if occasionally macabre) delights. .. .An aptly named exercise in imagination.
--Kirkus Reviews

Valedictory, elegiac, and playfully absurd. . . .Unexplained except for each section's title, the drawings practically beg readers to invent a story. Through it all, the creator's signature ink line has a life of its own--sometimes graceful, sometimes antic, and always conjuring worlds from empty paper and an inimitable imagination.
--Publishers Weekly

His penmanship and minimal shading create a unique sense of movement that brings these stories to life. . . .a set of fantastical illustrations that will inspire artists everywhere and remind readers to never stop using their imagination.
