I recently came across Laura Knight's work at a design market in London. I instantly fell in love with her Staffordshire Cat Cushions and drawings. Laura went to the Royal College and has enjoyed a successful career as an illustrator and teacher. Her gorgeous cat is called Ebby. You can see more examples of her work on her website 3 Ply You can also email her directly if you would like to buy her work! lauraknight@waitrose.com
Lilly Piri is currently based in Heidelberg, Germany - but just about to move back to her native Australia. I have loved her delicate pencil illustrations of dreamy girls, boys and animals for years, they are amazing! It was very difficult to pick only a few for this post, so you must promise to visit her website, blog and Etsy shop to see more! Her lovely cat is called Sam.
JimbobArt (aka James Ward) is an illustrator based in London, he creates an amazing range of original hand drawn ceramics. Each piece is 100% hand drawn and a one off. I love his painting of the Cat Doll shown above. More of his work can been seen on his etsy shop JimbobArt.Etsy.com. He doesn't currently own a cat but a customer recently sent him a photo of their cat because of the likeness to one of his cat plate designs. I think she makes a great model for his plate!
