Russell Ayto was commissioned to create this mischievous little ‘monster’ Charlie. Charlie is a young imaginative child who believes in monsters and adores sugary doughnuts. You can guess from the shadow in the background that Charlie is about to have an exciting encounter with something rather frightening creature. Reminiscent of the work of Ungerer, Ayto uses sombre colours effectively here.
This is another image created by Russell Ayto for children. An immediate criticism that springs to mind is that Ayto failed to grasp that all ginger cats are in fact male and ‘Fat Cat’ is a pregnant female who adorns a ribbon. Warm colours emphasize her stripes and the hay in the background.
