"He makes it all look so easy and yet his work is so full of joie de vivre"

Raymond Briggs

 

"Blake is beyond brilliant. He's anarchic, moral, infinately subversive, sometimes vicious, socially acute, sparse when he has to be, exuberentaly lavish in detail when he feels like it. He can tell wonderful stories without a single word but his partnership with Roald Dahl was made in heaven. Or somewhere. The diabolical ingenuity of Dahl came into it's own only when he wrote for children. In conjunction with Blake, there was a kind of alchemy. I've never met a child who didn't love Quentin Blake."

Melanie McDonagh, Daily Telegraph

 

"His work effortlessly crosses all barriers of age, gender and sophistication, swinging high in the realms of flamboyant humour and absurdity, and splashing seductively in reflective pools of petry and romance."

Joanna Carey, The Guardian

 

"His style is so alive that you feel every line is electric."

Emma Chichester Clark

 

"He possesses some of the same qualities as Edward Ardizzone. His drawings are even more free with enormous vitality and movement."

Helen Oxenbury

 

"The King of us all is Quentin Blake for his use of colour and the sheer exuberance of his drawing."

Jill Murphy

 

"Blake is no less the creative artist in those books that he shares with the author. Even when the writer has a name as formidable as Roald Dahl, Blake, far from being overawed, can lift the book into an altogether higher plane by interpretation that uncovers hidden subtleties in the story."

Twentieth Century Children's Writers

 

"For all the apparent simplicity of his images and storytelling, there's a hugely complex mind at work behind it all, sifting through a universe of ideas until it all comes out just right."
