'These originated in a set of drawings of objects for display in a shop in Aldeburgh, called “Objects.” These are thirteen of the more eccentric ones.In recent years I have found myself working increasingly in sequences of drawings which explore subjects and techniques which interest me.These sequences are the origins of the QB Papers; they vary in approach and tone, and between reality and fantasy. But I hope that in each of them in its own way will appeal to anyone who likes looking at drawings.’ – Quentin Blake

The title was suggested by the Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition. I have many, often quite serious, pictures of people drawing animals or (more often) birds. Here they are just simply adapted to provide a handful of visual jokes. I hope they’re amusing.

It may just have been an accident that I drew a man looking at a line on the floor. After that I drew a lot more, and after that I edited and redrew some so that the line took on a character of its own and one can believe (I hope) that it's actually moving, with its observer reacting appropriately. I thought it became almost like a simple, tiny animated film.

I drew all these in bed one morning. I'm not sure why I chose this kind of person, but once again the interest for me is the variations on a fixed set of features (bald head, spectacles, moustache).

Another idea which came from I don’t know where, though I have drawn fans before, and they serve to emphasise gesture. These are drawn in a simplified style, and the costume is a mime artist’s costume.In recent years I have found myself working increasingly in sequences of drawings which explore subjects and techniques which interest me.These sequences are the origins of the QB Papers; they vary in approach and tone, and between reality and fantasy.

I enjoy drawing mountains and rocky landscapes, especially with people riding through them on eccentric vehicles; and so of course it's natural that some of them should meet. (Not always at themost convenient place or moment). In recent years I have found myself working increasingly in sequences of drawings which explore subjects and techniques which interest me.

I have always liked to draw people flying, in all sorts of ways. These people just have simply little angel-type wings, which seem to work perfectly well. These are moments of everyday life transferred to the air - the boys seem to be the only ones to beexploiting the possibilities.

Para niños a partir de los 8 años.

Angered by a neighboring family's sport hunting, an eight-year-old girl turns her magic finger on them.

Una madre vedova, depressa e totalmente succube della televisione, tutto il denaro della famiglia inghiottito dalle televendite, il frigorifero vuoto e una montagna di bollette da pagare, l'undicesimo compleanno senza torta e senza candeline... È proprio quando a Colomba sembra di aver toccato il fondo, che le cose si mettono a girare vorticosamente e la sua vita diventa più movimentata e interessante di qualsiasi programma televisivo. Solo uno sceneggiatore impazzito potrebbe infatti mescolare nella stessa storia una banda di ragazzini chiamati Mostri Selvaggi, in guerra contro i Predators per il possesso della Ostinata Dimora, con una scimmia destinata allo zoo vaticano che non arriva mai a destinazione. E con una Beauty Farm dove avvengono strabilianti metamorfosi, un suonatore nero di jazz pronipote di un principe-schiavo di stirpe carabalì, un patrigno che è il divo più famoso della televisione, una gatta innamorata di un gallo, un'isola che emerge all'improvviso dalle onde dell'Oceano Pacifico, un livido uomo politico che dai teleschermi incita al razzismo e all'odio contro gli stranieri, un'orfanella dai capelli rossi che vola per le strade su una bicicletta azzurra disseminata di stelle... E dappertutto telecamere indiscrete che cercano di spiare e manipolare le vostre emozioni. Riusciranno i nostri eroi a mantenere il controllo della propria vita, a rimanere fedeli ai propri ideali e a sbaragliare gl'insidiosi nemici?

With Noah the boa using his coils to work the doughnut machine and with the three giraffes tangled upon the spiral stair, Mortimer's first night in a zoo was one to be remembered for a long, long time.
