Website





Exciting news today - I now have a website! Lisa very kindly helped me set it up today. You can find it at http://www.nicolakillen.com/. As you can see it's also now at the top of my LINKS list. It's definitely a work in progress but I feel it's a good start!

Rainbows


Just took this photo on my phone - there were 2 rainbows on view through the studio window. Very exciting - almost more exciting than the news that the Pringles machine downstairs has been re-stocked! Lisa (who I share my studio with) and I have just moved from a smaller room with hardly any natural light to a much brighter room upstairs in the same building. We are very happy!

A shoe.....


the other shoe.....


a pear.....


another pear.....


an orange from different angles......


and some bananas (to make a face).

I've been staying at my parents' house for the last week so I haven't been able to get much work done. All I've managed is a few sketches for a project that I've been thinking about for a while so I thought I'd share them.... I've been meaning to try and do more drawing for ages so I hope these will just be the start. I was also hoping to draw the chickens that live at the village pub but they were never out when I walked past (out walking, not going to the pub)!

Children's Bookseller


Sorry about the lack of posts over the last few weeks. Things have been all over the place due to work, illness and moving studio but I'm hoping to be a bit better about keeping up to date over the coming weeks. I had a very nice email yesterday from someone who had seen an advert for Not Me! in this month's Children's Bookseller. I hadn't seen it myself but found it online and did a quick screen grab so I could share it! Not long now till it's out......
