Quentin Blake

There is currently a retrospective exhibition of the works of David Wright at Linden Artsmill in Hebden Bridge. His intriguing paintings are about to go on tour, as far as the new National Gallery in Pakistan. Previous exhibitions at Linden Artsmill include works of Paula Rego, David Quirke and Quentin Blake. I was delighted to be asked to open the exhibition by Quentin Blake during the Hebden Bridge Arts Festival two years ago and I also ran an Illustration Workshop that week. The picture is of Quentin Blake, Steve Childs and me, after a talk Quentin gave at the Artsmill during his exhibition and some of David Wright's paintings can be seen in the background.
