Yoko Tanji is a Japanese illustrator, living and working in Tokyo. Her
beautiful work has appeared in many magazines and books. You can keep
up with her newest work via her Tumblr and she also has a special Tumblr
dedicated to her beautiful cat Sicca.
Flora Chang grew up in Taiwan and now lives and works in Kansas City. Her work is the perfect combination of cuteness and an immaculate sense for great
design. In her online shop you can
find prints, stamps, pendants, brooches and other wonderful goodies.
Have a peek at her blog for the latest news. Flora doesn't own a cat
herself, but here is a picture of her neighbour's cat Harrison, who
likes to come and visit sometimes.
LisaJones Studio is run by Lisa and her partner Edward. They started by
screen printing a range of gorgeous illustrated stationery (I
discovered their work when I purchased a lovely greeting card with a
Collie dog) and have since branched out into ceramics, clocks, tea
towels and even picture books! All available from her shop here. I
absolutely love her work, so I was excited to find a lot of wonderful
cat-themed items to feature here. Lisa used to have an adorable cat
named Pocket, who as she says is now 'out of town and living a
different kind of life'. (Much like my own cat Elvis, who left one
day and went to Hollywood).
Megan Eckman is a writer and artist originally from Fargo, North Dakota and
now living in California. She has a degree both in drawing and
creative writing. She has recently self-published her first book, HowTo Outsmart Tea Pirates (And Other Useful Sailing Tips). It's
available from her online shop, along with prints and other lovely
items featuring her detailed pen and ink drawings. Megan doesn't own
a cat at the moment, so these are some pictures of her previous,
adorable cat named Cootie.
Heather Mattoon is the artist behind Cats In Clothes and she paints
- you may have guessed it - cats in clothes! But they're not merely
animals in clothes, each cat has a unique character and fashion style. They are both beautiful and hilarious. Prints and
postcards are available from Heather's Etsy shop and she takes on
custom pet portrait commissions, too. Heather currently owns three cats:
Edgur, Mia and Megan (clockwise from left).
