Appreciation for Quentin Blake...

Along with Andy Warhol's early illustration work, I think Quentin Blake has been one of the most influential artists in my life. I spend as much time looking at his illustrations as I do reading the text; they contribute equally in importance to the story line. His drawing style seems flippant, but every tiny line is significant and can change the personality of a character.  
Full of wit, humour and whimsy, I imagine he has a lot of fun whilst he's illustrating and it shows.
