this is my favourite illustrator and my favourite writer combined!

I just loved this, he must have been a busy lad as I keep finding new ones.

I think this is one of his best individual paintings.

Nearly for me Brian. I actually really like his pictures of children that he didn't use as illustrations. He was a really good artist in several media.
