Quentin Blake talk

At an inspiring Quentin Blake talk today he discussed his illustration work and how he started his career. He was very modest and amusing.  I'm a big fan of his work and like the humour in his work.

50 years ago drawing was almost a subversive activity.

He gave some advice during his talk, such as:-

• Do what you are told to do but in your own way.  
  
• Making up your mind and committing to what you want to do.
  
• Time constraints make you do things you wouldn't otherwise do.
  
• Don't be timid...
  

"if I'd known I'd be any good I would have tried harder" 

(I don't think this is his original quote but it's true, I suppose that's what makes it funny).
