Happy Birthday Dice !
And now the special present : THE GREAT LEGENDARY QUENTIN BLAKE joins Sketchtravel ! I can't believe it.Emblematic figure of the Illustration, Quentin Blake illustrated the worlds of Russel Hoban, John Yeoman and Roald Dahl. I can't capsulate his work with words . Mr BLAKE just had his magic touch in the holy sketchbook . Can you feel how free is his hand ? He even put the red shared sketchbook in the composition. Such an honor !
