I had an idea about doing some drawing of costume, called Modest Attire, and then somehow it divided itself into two. One is this –improvised costumes of material of no importance or perhaps even cardboard. A good opportunity for inventing variations on a theme. In recent years I have found myself working increasingly in sequences of drawings which explore subjects and techniques which interest me.These sequences are the origins of the QB Papers; they vary in approach and tone, and between reality and fantasy. But I hope that in each of them in its own way will appeal to anyone who likes looking at drawings.’ – Quentin Blake
