Sir Quentin Blake can tell wonderful stories without a single word, but his partnership with Roald Dahl was made in heaven. The diabolical ingenuity of Dahl came into its own only when he wrote for children and created magical stories that have enthralled generations.
The first book Roald Dahl and illustrator Quentin Blake worked upon together was The Enormous Crocodile. Roald and Quentin soon became firm friends, cementing one of the most eye-catching and distinctive collaborations in children’s literature. Their work has been published in over 40 languages and today are considered modern classics.

About Sam Wolfe
“I would best describe myself as a creative designer with a passion for music and the arts. Growing up in the Garden of England (Kent), I was always happiest spending time at my grandparent’s beautiful, thatched cottage, where my sister and I would watch and join in with my grandad, painting for fun. As talented as my Grandad was as an oil painter, my finger painting was always the prize winner!
My grandmother was the piano player in the family and taught me all I ever need to know about music from the age of 4. Playing piano is a passion and something that’s always stayed with me as a link to my past and my upbringing and although I’ve attempted to write songs & music before, it’s a lot harder than it sounds.
Further education escaped me somewhat, however an interest in graphic design led me to my first job that really opened my eyes to the mixed media processes that are at our fingertips to create art that’s only truly limited by your own imagination. My interests led me to experiment with so many different styles and mediums over many months and I’ve certainly found creating art to be the best and most productive distraction from day-to-day existence whenever there’s time.
My eagerness to create artworks that are relevant to me personally, has always been the most important part of anything I can conceive and design. Chance would have it that my most recent artworks that I was able to spend time on through the first Covid Lockdown also really sparked interest from my friends and family and is what I’ve really enjoyed producing the most to date. My attempts at combining my love of both art and music really lit the fire underneath my passion for wanting to evolve and become an artist in the more traditional sense of the word.”
Chris Chapman’s limited editions have been inspired by famous artists and feature a gallery scene with his man and dog characters.
Chris has been a successful illustrator since graduating from Leicester College of Art, England in 1979, where he studied graphic design. After moving to London during the early years of his career, he now lives and works in Bournemouth, Dorset.
He currently produces paintings exclusively for the fine art market alongside his commercial illustrations and privately commissioned pieces. His work is humorous and he enjoys creating the visual joke as much as executing the final painting.
He is well known for painting in the style and technique of famous artists and including an observer or character viewing a picture as though in a gallery. These are often with a comical twist and include artists such as Jason Pillock, Fraud Monet, Mandy Warhol, Vincent Van Earoff and LS Lowryish etc
His paintings have been exhibited widely in a number of selected galleries including the Royal Academy of Arts in London.

A number of limited editions from Ellis feature The Queen with his unique style and contemporary twist.
Ellis’s edgy style of art is set to take urban art to a whole new level. Drawing on 30 years of graphic design experience within the advertising, publishing and brand development field, Ellis quite literally woke up one morning and decided it was time for a change of direction ; inspired by his love of the urban art movement the ‘Ellis project’ was created.
With a passion for art clear from a very young age (at the age of 8 Ellis used to paint pictures of famous kings and queens throughout history and have them displayed in morning assembly) the seeds were sewn and this led to a career in graphic design and ultimately Ellis, the artist, was born.
The work has evolved through a passion for strong graphic illustration and the stencil art movement, with influences from the likes of Antoni Tàpies, Mark Rothko, Banksy and Blek Le Rat. However, the main driving force behind the work was street art and the way it looks and feels on the street. The challenge was to create a way of producing work that maintains this rawness and the texture when translated into print and fulfil the ultimate aim of bringing street art from the “outside in”.
Ellis’s artwork draws from iconic moments in history of any subject matter, which he then likes to add a twist to, or create a juxtaposition to challenge the viewer. These can be humorous, controversial (even shocking) or just plain ‘arty’ depending on what visually works for him. There are usually several messages within the work, but these are left to be seen by the eye of the beholder.
JJ Adams is a very popular artist with his unique take on popular brands, landmarks and icons. His latest collection does not disappoint and provides a wide variety of subject matter with something for everyone.
He uses a range of mixed media in his work from spray paint to hand painting acrylics, screen printing and digital matte painting as well as photography.
Leigh Lambert is an accomplished artist across a range of media, most commonly working in oils on board. His use of colour is minimal, optimistically applying splashes only to the figures that play amidst the otherwise monochromatic landscapes, capturing the joy and vitality of his youth.
It was on leaving Newcastle that he began to appreciate the nature of his upbringing; what he had once seen as a concrete jungle now seeming strangely beautiful. Taking inspiration from his childhood, Lamberts pieces have a strong sense of nostalgia, evoking fond memories of a youth that many can relate to.
