Picture This: Free Quentin Blake ecards

THERE are few, young or old, who haven’t come across the work of Quentin Blake, illustrator of Roald Dahl’s classic children’s stories such as 123, James and the Giant Peach, Matilda or Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator.

Instantly recognisable, his energetic “sketchy” drawing style is Blake’s very own.

He’s just designed a free series of endearing, funny and affirmative e-cards to enjoy and share with somebody you love, care about or who might need cheering up.
