Edward Monkton
Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Cite This Source

Edward Monkton is an artist responsible for a range of cartoon-like designs. Originally created as the Interesting thoughts of Edward Monkton greeting cards, the designs are now available in other forms as a range of gifts. Best known characters include "the Pig of Happiness" and "the Penguin of Death".

Edward Monkton is another persona of Purple Ronnie, where designs are generally more cheeky. Edward Monkton products are of a more innocent and philosophical nature, though the author is not afraid to produce non-sensical light-hearted messages.
Behind the persona
The man behind Edward Monkton and Purple Ronnie is Notting Hill resident and card designer Giles Andreae.
