THE PECULIAR PICTURES OF MERVYN PEAKE

This video takes a look at the life and work of British illustrator and author Mervyn Peake. He was one of the most unusual and distinctive 20th century British illustrators, and although he could be considered more of an acquired taste than others I’ve featured I hope this will create some new enthusiasts among those who’ve never heard of him. Spoiler alert - his story does not end happily.
