annwfyn There's a Quentin Blake exhibition on at the National Theatre. I was originally told about it by Marcy, who is wise, and went there yesterday with pierot and found it wonderful.
We both cooed over the art, and sank into nostalgia at the many many illustrations from books we both read as kids. I gurgled with delight over finding the original illustrations from Fantastic Mr Fox (which was one of my favourite books as a kid), and squealed like a fan girl at the pic of Evil Red Riding Hood in her wolfskin coat from Revolting Rhymes.
There's also a fantastic new pic of Quentin Blake and Roald Dahl, drawn by Quentin Blake, showing them working together. I found a pic on the web to put up here, but believe me, it isn't half as nice as the real thing.
If you're Londoners - go see this exhibition! It doesn't cost anything and it's just opposite Waterloo.
*nods firmly*
