 Nick joins the visitors in doodling on our drawing wall

On what was one of the busiest weekends in 20-21's history, there were huge queues to meet the man himself - which just goes to show how Nick's distinctive illustrations have captured the imaginations of children and adults alike.

 He has depicted characters from books including; The 100 Mile An Hour Dog by Jeremy Strong; Jacqueline Wilson's Tracy Beaker; the hugely popular picture book, You Choose; and the hilarious Ketchup On Your Cornflakes, written and illustrated by Nick. 

Ahoy there! - The giant neoprene costumes have gone down a storm

Through fun, 'hands-on' displays, the exhibition tells the story of how Nick became an illustrator, what inspires his work and what brings his world of vibrant and humorous characters to life.
