Favourite Things

Last year The House of Illustration invited 45 illustrators and celebrities to play the self-revealing Victorian parlour game "What Are You Like?" by drawing their 8 favourite things from a list of 12. The results were shown in the Dulwich Picture Gallery (CLICK for my review, but note the gallery URL has been deleted). Sixteen of the works have now been selected for sale as limited-edition prints. The terrific Favourite Things illustration shown above is by Michael Foreman, who obviously likes naked girls riding dinosaurs on the beach! This limited-edition (200) giclee print, signed and numbered by Michael, will set you back £200 (unframed) or £280 (framed). Before you quibble about the price, take note that over 60% of the proceeds go to Quentin Blake's project to set up the first gallery in the UK dedicated to the art of illustration: The House of Illustration.
