✦ Artist’s Note

Wizard Kitties began as a pencil drawing on textured watercolour paper. I later colourised the original linework digitally, building up layers of colour while preserving the delicate details of the drawing.

I've always loved imagining cats as little magical beings, creatures with their own secret knowledge and peculiar ways of understanding the world. There's something about the way they observe their surroundings that makes me wonder what they might be seeing that we cannot.

The two little wizard cats inhabit a world of their own, where moonlight holds magical power and even the pussy willows have feline spirits. I like to imagine that their protective enchantment keeps the grove safe for all its magical inhabitants.

I particularly enjoyed drawing their elaborate little costumes, the folds of their cloaks, the crooked lantern hats and the tiny celestial details scattered across their robes. The glowing crescent moon staff became the centre of the composition, bringing the two characters together in their shared act of magic.

When developing the digital colour, I wanted to preserve the softness and texture of the original graphite drawing while introducing the lavender, violet and dusky blue tones that give the illustration its twilight atmosphere. The little touches of gold bring warmth and light to the scene, almost as though the spell is illuminating the world around them.

Wizard Kitties has become one of my most loved cat illustrations, and I've enjoyed seeing these two little characters find their way into different forms, from prints to handmade objects created here in my studio.

I hope they bring a little feline magic into your world too.
