Typographic spectacle meets existential picture book in Mouse and Kat and the Evil One, a visual delight for discerning adults and an action-packed story for children. Artist Stuart Sharpe's work draws on influences as diverse as his experience as an animator, El Lissitsky, and Saturday morning cartoons. This epic adventure in miniature explores the universal theme of good versus evil in classic scenes.
Anyone with an interest in graphic design should snap this one up. Sharpe uses bold fonts, icons, and colors to tell the story about Mouse and Kat's struggle against a bad guy who wants nothing more than to suppress their positive energy so he can take over the planet. The terminology describing their battles makes almost no sense, but it doesn't matter, the book is fun. As a geeky sci-fi loving family, this was perfect for us.
