Artwork for Marvellously Revolting Recipes: "Magic Mixed Dream". Published within Marvellousy Revolting Recipes (inspired by the stories of Roald Dahl) (Puffin, 2023) on page 35, where it illustrates the recipe of "Magic Mixed Dream" (from The BFG). The original pencil sketch was digitally coloured for the published book, and a coloured print (numbered 1/1 and signed by the artist) is included.Roald Dahl's Revolting Recipes was first published in 1994. It was "an interpretation of some of the scrumptious and wonderfully disgusting dishes which appear in Roald's books". Roald Dahl's Even More Revolting Recipes followed in 2001. Over 20 years later a new volume, Marvellously Revolting Recipes, featured new recipes together with old favourites from previous Revolting Recipes books. The present illustration is original artwork from that book which was "illustrated by an array of amazing artists".Alexis Deacon (b. 1978) is a British writer and illustrator of children's books.
