Pete
Fowler (UK)
the world of monsterism
Pete Fowler (born 1969 in Cardiff) is a freelance illustrator and "monster
creator" inspired by Japanese art. His postmodern cartoon style work
is created in a variety of mediums, including drawing, painting and sculpture.
He has done a number of other projects in the UK and Japan, such as animation
television adverts (Kia Picanto), but is most known for the designer toys
of his characters, which he himself manufactures with his own company.
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 their own specific traits and levels of "monsterism."
