Pirates, Pants and Wellyphants: The Illustrated World of Nick Sharratt

A new exhibition focusing on the world-renowned children’s illustrator and author, Nick Sharratt is coming to Hull. It brings to life Nick’s colourful world of instantly recognisable characters. His distinctive illustrations have captured the imagination of children across the globe, depicting characters from books including ‘The 100 Mile An Hour Dog’ by Jeremy Strong, Jacqueline Wilson’s ‘The Story of Tracy Beaker’, the hugely popular picture book ‘You Choose’ and the hilarious ‘Ketchup on your Cornflakes’, written and illustrated by Nick. Pirates, Pants and Wellyphants promises to entice young and old alike into Nick’s world of vibrant and humorous characters, creatures and food. The exhibition tells the story of how he became an illustrator, what inspires his work, and brings to life Nick's characters through fun, 'hands-on' displays. Pirates, Pants and Wellyphants is a touring exhibition organised by 20-21 Visual Arts Centre, Scunthorpe and developed in collaboration with darts (Doncaster Community Arts) and The Civic, Barnsley. This project has been supported by Arts Council England.
