Events

Aliens, Zombies & Monsters! is my interactive, immersive exploration into how children’s characters and books are created. As a children’s writer and illustrator, I reveal the tricks of my trade which gives visitors a unique peek into the process behind illustration work – starting from initial ideas and sketches to creating believable characters, then developing layouts and final completed pages.

But most importantly, the gallery will be filled with life-sized aliens, zombies and monsters that are ready to mingle with visitors of all ages. Beam aboard an alien spaceship, take a photo amongst the monster mayhem or be part of a zombie family! There’s also activities- search and find, colouring pages and activity sheets. Visitors are encouraged to be creative and create their own characters.
