My 29 Illustrations Of Cats As Instrumental Musicians

I am an artist in the USA that specializes in unique pet portraits filled with humor and personality. I share my studio with my perfect rescue pups, adoring adopted cats, and two judgmental parakeets.

Every October, artists around the world begin an art challenge to create a piece of art every day of the month. This year I chose the theme of “cats” and thus my “Catober” project began. I thought it would be hilarious to have a cat marching band. I researched instruments and uniforms, but as the project progressed, instruments became more outlandish and the feathered hats started to become characters as unique as the cats themselves. I wanted to challenge myself to play within limits and kept my palette mostly limited to black, red, and gray. My goal for each drawing was to make myself laugh and I hope this feline parade will bring a smile to anyone who needs a pick-me-up.

For dog lovers, don’t fret! I am currently working on “Pupvember” and you can follow the pack on my Instagram which is listed down below!
