KATY HUDSON (Too Many Carrots) was raised in Middlesbrough, England, and started her illustration career as a small child drawing on freshly painted walls around the house! Her parents quickly encouraged drawing with pencil and paper instead. Katy took to the medium (the pencil was updated to an ink pot and pen in some cases), and after some lovely time at art college and a degree in illustration, Katy is now a freelance illustrator working at a desk in an old London library.
