The Quentin Blake Centre for Illustration will open in Clerkenwell, London, in May 2026, providing a long-awaited permanent space for the illustration community. Backed by significant funding, it aims to showcase contemporary illustrators and elevate the art form's status. The inaugural exhibition will feature artist MURUGIAH, highlighting the centre's commitment to supporting living practitioners.

Jordan Moody, a South London artist, uses vibrant colors in his drawings to transform everyday scenes of London into lively, otherworldly representations. His work focuses on capturing the joy of mundane moments, often depicting people in bright, patterned clothing and reimagining overlooked spaces with bold hues. Moody's artistic practice is deeply rooted in his surroundings, with a particular emphasis on community and the happiness of everyday life.
