Nikalas Catlow and Tim Wesson
Nikalas and Tim are the newly-formed author and illustrator team behind the Mega Mash-Up series. They write and draw together and laugh a lot. They met when Nikalas, who was working as a designer, thought Tim would be a good illustrator for some books he was working on… and then found out that they lived across the road from one another in Brockley, in South-East London. One idea led to another which led to a partnership. Their debut series, Seriously Silly Activities, was published by Scholastic in June 2010. With a background combining design, illustration and animation, Nikalas and Tim are developing their own brand of anarchic, boysy humour and plan to take over the children’s book universe.
