Quentin Blake Ltd Edition Book #20/100 HAND SIGNED? The Art Of The Ballpoint

From Quentin's recent exhibition at Cromwell Place, London. The Art of the Ballpoint' is a hand-crafted limited edition book printed on fine art Muncken paper, showcasing some of the highlights of Quentin's prolific series of imaginary portraits, and all of which were drawn using the humble ballpoint pen. These drawings were created purely for Quentin's own pleasure. He has selected some of his favourites in this special book. The Art of the Ballpoint' is a signed, limited edition of 100 copies, hand-bound by prize-winning bookbinder, Gillian Stewart. Hardback, bound in cloth-covered board, with an introduction by Quentin Blake. The delicate screen-printed trail of one of Quentin's more distilled portraits traces its way across the hand-bound cloth cover towards the contrasting tangle of colourful ballpoint swirls that adorn the bespoke hand-drawn book edging, making each copy unique. Inside is a collection of 50 imagined portraits all drawn with individual character of line. A unique pice in mint condition.
