Critical Critters is Ralph and Ceri's third book together, following Extinct Boids and Nextinction.. Since then, Ralph has provided illustrations for collections of poetry by Ted Hughes, Alice in Wonderland, and Animal Farm, and has even designed a set of stamps. Ralph Steadman is a world-renowned cartoonist and caricatur
"Steadman's wonderfully idiosyncratic style captures the animals in a way no camera could, his paintings positively fizzing off the page." - James Lloyd, BBC Focus
Following on from Extinct Boids and Nextinction, Critical Critters is the third in this epic trilogy of books dedicated to extinct and critically endangered animals from cartoonist Ralph Steadman and film-maker Ceri Levy--the GONZOVATIONISTS.Expect plenty more of what made the first two books so successful--unpredictable nonsense beasts, irreverent jokes, a diary-style record of the creative mayhem, and around 100 spectacular illustrations by Ralph of critically endangered mammals, insects, fish, lizards, and trees--a stunning collection, with a serious conservation message.Ceri's humorous but meaningful message accompanied by Ralph's sensational paintings will satisfy art-lovers and conservationists alike.
