Original picture book artwork by Nick Sharratt is available for purchase from Images of Delight together with a series of limited edition prints.
Nick Sharratt was born in London in 1962 and trained in graphic design at St. Martin’s School of Art. He takes his inspiration from the pop and graphic art of the 1960s, which he experienced as a child. He loves to use vibrant colours and bold patterns in his pictures, but, he says, “the most important element of my work is always the humour.” He likes experimenting with different media and you’ll find watercolour, liquid acrylics, charcoal, ink, animation cell paint and photographs in his work.
His work is split between illustrating for other writers, most notably Jacqueline Wilson, and producing his own picture books for a younger audience. Eating is one of Nick’s favourite pastimes and food often crops up in his work.
He has won numerous awards including the 2001 Children’s Book Award, the Stockport Schools Book Award for KS1, the Sheffield Children’s Book Award and the Experian Award for Eat Your Peas, written by Kes Gray. He won the overall Sheffield Children’s Book Award for A Cheese and Tomato Spider and the picture book category for the Time It Took Tom, co-written with Stephen Tucker, which also won best book in the Right Start Book Awards. Pants won the picture book category of the 2003 Children’s Book Award and was shortlisted for the Greenaway Prize. Ketchup on Your Cornflakes? won the Under Fives non-fiction Book Prize in the SHE/WHSmith Award. Nick Sharatt’s work has been exhibited in Britain, Italy, Japan and U.S.A.
Nick currently lives in Brighton. Further information on his own website Nick Sharratt
