Bought a cool Boxfresh T-shirt at the weekend. Boxfresh collaborated with the Illustrator Pete Fowler for this design so I decided to take a look at his work on the net and came across his website Monsterism. It’s a fun flash animated website which showcases his wacky and colourful illustrations. Take 5 mins and have a look it’s well worth it.

Here is a wee bit about him…

Pete Fowler (born 1969 in Cardiff) is a Welsh artist best known for his artwork Super Furry Animals. He is a freelance illustrator and “monster creator” inspired by Japanese art, folklore, myths, psychedelia and super nature. He has also done a number of other projects in the UK and Japan, such as television advertisements (Kia Picanto), as well as having art exhibitions all over the world. Fowler works in a variety of media, including drawing, painting, animation, and sculpture.

Fowler’s art is done in a postmodern cartoon style. His work revolves around a central narrative and features a recurring set of characters. The “monsters” Fowler creates all reside on “Monsterism Island.” Fowler invents extensive back-stories for his characters; each has its own specific traits and levels of “monsterism.” Fowler is most known for his designer toys of his characters, which he himself manufactures with his own company.
