My first exposure to his drawings was the Uncle books by J.P Martin. I remember renewing "Uncle" six weeks in a row at the village library. I got another copy in 2001 (after waiting a very, very long time for it to be reprinted), gave it away as a gift, intending to get another - and found it had gone out of print again!<BR/><BR/>Obviously Quentin Blake is one of my great favourites and when I scrawl indiscriminately, elements of his influence show through.John Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14630706251547357904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13005893.post-7656102831428159332007-03-12T10:44:00.000+00:002007-03-12T10:44:00.000+00:00I saw Quentin Blake at the end of last summer at S...I saw Quentin Blake at the end of last summer at Somerset house - I agree - though I think it may have a little to do with the scanning technique as well.<BR/><BR/>All you have to do now is something along the lines of, say, The Shadow Cage, or Fantastic Mr Fox, and all my childhood nostalgia will overwhelm me like a giant warm mashmallowLeon Watkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11421465332201035440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13005893.post-87094904279669736922007-03-10T21:36:00.000+00:002007-03-10T21:36:00.000+00:00HEY.
