Sir Quentin Blake has teamed up with the House of Illustration to release a series of cards for people to send to faraway loved ones during the lockdown.

The illustrator has created 10 different rainbow e-cards, all available to download for free from today to send to friends and family.

Blake’s colourful drawings have imagined rainbows as part of everyday life – as hair, a dog kennel and a moustache.

He said: “It seems like a time when a few straightforward jokes might not come amiss; so that as I know that people have been putting rainbows into their windows to express solidarity, I took the liberty of borrowing them.

"You will see that I have supposed that they are real and portable, and I hope they are optimistic too.”

Blake founded the House of Illustration in King’s Cross in 2014, the country’s only public gallery that is solely dedicated to illustration.

You can download the e-cards from houseofillustration.org.uk
