His artwork remind me of drawings and stories by a Polish artist Bruno Schulz, who's works I've always worshipped very much.

Schulz is a basket of gently breathing horrors with sad eyes casting gentle steps on creaking finely polished wooden floor boards. Sad, sweet horrors. Charles Avery appears so cheerful in comparison. He seems content. He seems mildly interested in his surroundings and unafraid to look around. I feel terror when I look at Bruno Schulz's work. Ghastly mad foot steps growing louder in the distance approaching closer, ever closer, closer and closer still.
