Ingrid painted her design onto the giraffe sculpture in April this year in the Giraffe House at Colchester Zoo! Her design is based on her giraffe characters the Neckmann family and their home Necky Knoll House on Giraffe World planet in Camelopardalis Constellation. Nextra-terrestrial is an intergalactic portal to our world ...

You would not guess from looking at her still serene pose that she and her painted characters come alive when there are no humans around and have adventures - read about them on her blog! You can even download and print pictures to colour in.
