Quentin Blake occasionally revisits his bookshelves and portfolios of work made during the last sixty years and selects a few for your delight. Visit the Gallery pages in this section for previous fossicks.

St Valentine’s Day Massacre

These are a set of drawings produced in the seventies in response to a St Valentine’s Day exhibition at Mel Calman’s Workshop Gallery.  I found myself exploring the various reactions of these women to the arrows of love.  They were not necessarily optimistic and so really not at all what was needed for the occasion.

This is a selection from perhaps twice as many.  Unfortunately one or two were considered not suitable for a family website.
