A new documentary gives illustrator Quentin Blake his full due

For all of those who grew up — or raised a child — with Roald Dahl’s books, Quentin Blake’s illustrations are likely just as memorable as the tales.

But Blake, of course, had an illustrious career before his partnership with Dahl, and at age eighty-nine, he may have slowed a bit but isn’t stopping.

A new documentary about the artist helps shed light on the man himself and the entirety of his oeuvre, reports the Guardian.

Quentin Blake: The Drawing of My Life was produced by the BBC; it airs on BBC2 at 4:10 p.m. London time on December 25 and will be available online, at least for the UK, after the broadcast.
