Dark Ink
I'm his muse. His obsession. Worn down by the responsibilities of caring for my troubled brother, I just wanted an escape. To lose myself. To be free. Rian Merrick is a wildly talented artist, the 'rockstar' professor on campus. Everyone's obsession. For some reason I've become his. He doesn't care that he's twice my age. That a relationship with his student could ruin him. He loves that I'm a greedy girl with bad desires. I love when he punishes me for it. He won't stop until he's tied me to him in every way.

Otherwise, strap yourself in and grab onto your 'oh shit' handle, this is a roller-coaster that won't stop til the bitter end...

100 Figures
Quentin Blake's illustrations are instantly recognisable to millions of people around the world. A new exhibition to be held at London's House of Illustration will explore an unusual aspect of Blake's work, however, exhibiting for the first time 100 examples of his works of art. 100 Figures features all of the 100 exhibited works — ranging from large-scale oil paintings to drawings and prints, created between the 1950s and today. Works included date back to his post-grad years in the 1950s when he struggled to make a living as an illustrator and took life-drawing classes at Chelsea School of Art. It was here that he first engaged with the human figure, but soon, having observed how the human body behaves, he found he was able to draw it from memory in any pose, working from his vivid imagination. 100 Figures offers the chance to catch a rare glimpse of early oil paintings by Blake — some painted on hardboard since he was unable to afford canvases at that time and painted using

Not for Art's Sake
An art book about art that has a purpose, focusing on work by Quentin Blake that has been commissioned for a particular place or for a particular use. Illustration is the most accessible visual artform and one that is used in all aspects of life; as Quentin Blake says, 'it is, if you like, a vernacular; it’s a language that everybody understands. They may look at it and not think that they’re looking at art, but it’s having the effect on them of art. It’s a language that everybody can read, so to speak.' The work here shows Quentin using this vernacular to great effect and for very different purposes. In 2007 when Elizabeth II was opening the new Eurostar at St Pancras, Quentin was asked to hide an unsightly building across the road. He drew a 2-colour illustration on his drawing board showing a cast of characters that you might meet on a London Street; this was then blown up large enough to wrap a five-storey building. Since then he has found other opportunities for site specific
