Ragtag Cinema Cat T-Shirts

December 18, 2017May 19, 2019 | winter

I recently created a couple T-shirt designs for Ragtag Cinema, Columbia, Missouri’s awesome nonprofit art house movie theatre. Cats have been on the mind of the Ragtag staff ever since they screened the film Kedi last spring, so they wanted to see if I could design something related to cats & film. These are two of my favorite subjects, so this project was really exciting to design!

You can buy the shirts in person at the Ragtag Box Office–they sell for $15, but they are $12 for Ragtag members. You can also buy the ticket-ball design online. The shirts were printed locally by One to One Print Shop and are 100% soft cotton from Bella + Canvas.

Snow Leopard

August 25, 2017August 21, 2017 | winter

An illustration of a Snow Leopard for this week’s Animal Alphabets art challenge. The pathos in this one wasn’t planned ahead of time, it just emerged as I started drawing the face. I haven’t focused much on emotions in my animal drawings so far, but it’d probably be a good idea to pay closer attention to this aspect in future drawings if I can.

Heads Or Tails

My entry for this week’s Colour Collective challenge with the color prompt of Gold. I imagine that this is what cats use to buy treats at their local market. [Note: This post is backdated to the twitter post date. Added to blog 03-01-18.]

Space Witch

Imperial Purple was the color prompt for this week’s Colour Collective challenge. I’ve always thought witches would be good at space travel. [Note: This post is backdated to the twitter post date. Added to blog 03-01-18.]

Milk Break

Deep Napels Ochre was the color prompt for this week’s Colour Collective challenge. I was playing with some different techniques for illustrating fur in this one. [Note: This post is backdated to the twitter post date. Added to blog 03-01-18.]

Snowball Fight

December 18, 2015March 1, 2018 | winter

White was the color prompt for this week’s Colour Collective challenge. Everybody loves making snow-people during the winter months, but I got to thinking it might be cool to make some cats and dogs as well. (Nobody said they had to get along though.)

Some sneaky folks organized behind the scenes for artists to draw a polar bear as an extra challenge to thank Penny Neville Lee who started Colour Collective earlier in the year. This is my polar bear that I posted a half hour before I posted my main cat & dog post above. [Note: This post is backdated to the twitter post date. Added to blog 03-01-18.]
