I went to the
House of Illustration last Sunday. It only opened last month and is currently hosting a special Quentin Blake exhibition. While I recognize his illustrations, I didn't grow up with them nor the/his books. The exhibition is super small and I was a little disappointed. There are so many signs and adverts - and then there are only a few small rooms... I guess, we are spoilt here in London with all the free museums. But it was very nice anyway. I could see the illustrations working really well as tattoos, too!
The exhibition finished with
Michael Rosen's Sad Book. A sad ending to an otherwise happy exhibition.
We then went round the corner for brunch at the
Grain Store - a new restaurant by Bruno Loubet and the Zetter Group. The restaurant is on Granary Square - the newly developed bit behind King's Cross station. It's a really cool and quirky place - cool decorations, unusual menu and great service.
