He has always made his living as an illustrator, as well as teaching for over twenty years at the Royal College of Art, where he was head of the Illustration department from 1978 to 1986. His first drawings were published in Punch while he was 16 and still at school. He continued to draw for Punch, The Spectator and other magazines over many years, while at the same time entering the world of children's books with A Drink of Water by John Yeoman in 1960. He is known for his collaboration with writers such as Russell Hoban, Joan Aiken, Michael Rosen, John Yeoman and, most famously, Roald Dahl. He has also illustrated classic books, including A Christmas Carol and Candide and created much-loved characters of his own, including Mister Magnolia and Mrs Armitage.Since the 1990s Quentin Blake has had an additional career as exhibition curator, curating shows in, among other places, the National Gallery, the British Library and the Musée du Petit Palais in Paris. In the last few years he has begun to make larger-scale work for hospitals and healthcare settings in the UK and France where his work can be seen in wards and public spaces. Most recently he has completed a scheme for the whole of a new maternity hospital in Angers.His books have won numerous prizes and awards, including the Whitbread Award, the Kate Greenaway Medal, the Emil/Kurt Maschler Award and the international Bologna Ragazzi Prize. He won the 2002 Hans Christian Andersen Award for Illustration, the highest international recognition given to creators of children's books. In 2004 Quentin Blake was awarded the 'Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres' by the French Government for services to literature and in 2007 he was made Officier in the same order. In 2014 he was admitted to the Legion d'Honneur, an honour accorded to few people who are not French nationals.

Why did you want to take part in this fundraising initiative A fantastic brief, an amazing line up of artists and throughly worthwhile charity.Can you tell us about your artwork What inspiration did you draw on to create your design When making a charity artwork, the importance is in creating something unique to the cause. But creating a special artwork is only half the story, it also requires a buyer/collector to dig deep and purchase it to help raise those vital funds. For me, the team of Jennie and Aimee was the inspiration - The TLC team on top of St Paul’s reaching for the moon, taking their work from England to the rest of the world. They are surrounded by diamonds in the sky, each one a life saved. What is it about the charity Transplant Links that made you want to support them TLC’s two person mission to help save lives deserves all the support and exposure it can get to help achieve their goals. Where knowledge and wisdom can help save the lives of children and adults, you want to support this however you can. I can’t perform kidney transplant surgery... but I can create fine art. We do our bit, so they can do theirs. A graduate of De Montfort University Leicester (RIBA/ARB Part I), University of Brighton (RIBA/ARB Part II) and the Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL (RIBA/ARB Part III). He has won numerous international architectural and graduate awards for his personal work, which includes being voted ‘One of the UK’s Young Creative Heroes’ by Channel 4 and the Nagoya University Excellence in Architecture award. In 2014 his art work won him the 'People's Choice' HIX Art Award at the Cock 'n' Bull Gallery, Shoreditch London in a competition by chef/restaurateur Mark Hix and artist Tracy Emin aimed at new contemporary artists.

Hannah Kokoschka. Joker. Paper-cut. 17.6 x 13cm. Signed verso. Framed. Central Saint Martin's trained Hannah Kokoschka is a freelance paper engineer. Her work ranges from designing pop-up cards, pup-up business cards, books, logos, advertisements, packaging to large-scale art installations. She's been praised by Elle Decoration for her London pop-up range that became a huge hit at the Tate. Her most recent collaboration involved working with Jo Malone (and the company she owns, Jo Loves) designing paper flower scent sticks for the Chelsea Flower show along with a summer themed window display (of course, all in paper!). Interview with the artist: Why did you want to take part in this fundraising initiativeA wonderful opportunity to be creative all for an amazing cause/charity. Can you tell us about your artwork What inspiration did you draw on to create your designI'm very inspired by the circus both current and throughout history. I also have some crazy running friends who love doing things such as riding uncycles. I therefore thought the Joker card would be an appropriate theme to focus on pushing the design into a circus style. As I love paper engineering, I also wanted the card to be a paper cut. What is it about the charity Transplant Links that made you want to support themIt's a fairly small charity run by wonderful people, achieving great success and truly helping people.

Ian Chamberlain. 'Communication I', etching, image size 27 x 22cm. Framed. I am a printmaker who has been passionate about, and specialising in etching (intaglio) for several years. My work takes reference from an on-going interest in manmade technological forms of industrial structures - such as bridges, the scientific radio telescopes at Goonhilly Satellite Earth Station, or ex military structures such as the Acoustic sound mirrors in the UK. The majority of the subjects and locations I record were considered at the forefront of technology during their lifetime. Some of those technologies are now defunct or have been reconfigured for different uses. The subject matter therefore is echoed in the process used to record it. The etching process enables me to make a sustained enquiry into the subject’s structure, location and the effects of time passing. It becomes my own visual experience and a graphic equivalent to an observed moment in time. I begin each project with an intense enquiry through on site observation and drawing. In visiting these locations I can develop my own subjective emotional response; the artist is not seen but my physical intervention is paramount and my factual research and first hand experience evidence a sense of place. The subject itself is then removed from its surroundings and the familiar. The structures are shown devoid of the human figure so that architectural scale cannot be based on the physical measurements of the human body. This ambiguity adds to the sense of the monumental and projects a feeling of the iconic. I begin by finding my way around the subject, evaluating the form through the use of light and dark in quick charcoal studies. These are then taken into the studio where, if required, more sustained studies incorporating finer lines are made. The continuation of the drawing element is an integral part of my process. You can see evidence of the drawings within the etchings’ continually changing hierarchy and emphasis. Bringing into focus new elements and pushing others back. This evidences the recording and decision-making taking place. For me, the importance and value of the etching process is integral to both the making and the content of the work. Etching offers a unique means of working - inherent in its make up is the intervention upon the surface and the sculptural physicality of the process; layering and building-up information through cyclical reapplications of grounds, drawing, etching, burnishing and drypoint. My prints are not just an architectural study, they are evidence of me seeing and responding to a subject in a meaningful way. This is what etching allows me to do - to investigate place through an organic evolution of recording and insights into location through the interlinking processes of drawing and printmaking.

Peter Randall-Page (b.1954). Framed. 'Signed: T/P Dated 2007'. Randall-Page has gained an international reputation through his sculpture drawings and prints. He has undertaken numerous large-scale commissions and exhibited widely. His work is held in public and private collections throughout the world including Japan, South Korea, Australia, USA, Turkey, Eire, Germany and the Netherlands. A selection of his public sculptures can be found in many urban and rural locations throughout the UK including London, Edinburgh, Manchester, Bristol, Oxford and Cambridge and his work is in the permanent collections of the Tate Gallery and the British Museum amongst others. His practice has always been informed and inspired by the study of natural phenomena and its subjective impact on our emotions. In recent years his work has become increasingly concerned with the underlying principles determining growth and the forms it produces. In his words “geometry is the theme on which nature plays her infinite variations, and can be seen as a kind of pattern book on which the most complex and sophisticated structures are based.” He was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Arts from the University of Plymouth in 1999, an Honorary Doctorate of Letters from York St John University in 2009, an Honorary Doctorate of Letters from Exeter University in 2010, and an Honorary Doctorate of Letters from Bath Spa University in 2013. In June 2015 Peter was elected as a Royal Academician in the category of sculpture. As a member of the design team for the Education Resource Centre (The Core) at the Eden Project in Cornwall, Peter influenced the overall design of the building incorporating an enormous granite sculpture (‘Seed’) at its heart. Commissions include Give and Take in Newcastle which won the 2006 Marsh Award for Public Sculpture, Mind’s Eye a large ceramic wall mounted piece for the Department of Psychology at Cardiff University (2006) a commemorative sculpture for a Mohegan Chief at Southwark Cathedral (2006) Harmonic Solids for the University of Music, Karlsruhe (2013) Source at Southmead Hospital Bristol (2013), Theme and Variation commissioned by the University of Birmingham for the façade of the Bramhall Music Building (2014) and façades at the new Laboratory building at Dulwich College designed in collaboration with Grimshaw architects (2016) A major new work The One and The Many at Fitzroy Place, London was launched in June 2016.
