Hammersmith illustrator Louis
Fowler has been passionate
about zoology since he was at
Flora Gardens primary. Now his
meticulously observed ink sketches
of endangered species are on sale
in his local pub.
If you’re enjoying a jar in the
Stonemasons Arms, Cambridge
Grove and an animal catches your
eye, unpeg it from the display line
and buy it for £20 at the bar.
Louis (it’s pronounced ‘Lewis’,
rather than like a French king) has
made an A-Z series of animals, setting his ink pictures of animals
against bright blocks of colour
to give the images a dramatic
background and bring the animals
to the fore.
Produced by a specialist printer
in Covent Garden, they may one
day be brought together into a
book. It wouldn’t be his first; Louis
has several children’s books to his
name, including Nothing Rhymes
with Scissors, a cartoon/poetry mix.
Ten per cent of his picture money
goes to animal conservation.
