My friend asked me to make a sign for her little girls' wendy house to turn it into an ice cream parlour. I've just done this tonight - it's basic but I hope they like it!

Back to the zoo again today! The weather was rubbish - cold, windy and quite bit of rain but I still really enjoyed it. Even treated myself to a chimp mask in the shop on the way out!
Have had this image floating around on my desktop for a while - a friend very kindly flagged it up on the internet for me. It's a photo from the Bologna book fair 2009 where my first book was being shown (in a very basic dummy) for the first time!
My name is Nicola Killen and I graduated in 2009 with an MA in Children's Book Illustration from Cambridge School of Art at Anglia Ruskin University. Since graduating I have been working with the publishers Egmont UK. My first picture book "Not Me!" was published in 2010. My next book "Fluff and Billy do everything together" was followed by my first board books, "Animal Numbers" and "Animal Colours". My 3rd picture book, "I Got a Crocodile" was published by Simon and Schuster in February.
