Bake the World a Better Place - Limited Edition Art Print

from €22.00

A little home-baked happiness from a Catland kitchen.

In a cosy little kitchen filled with homemade preserves, cakes and all manner of feline-themed treasures, a wide-eyed white kitty is on a mission to find the yummiest baked goodies.

Dressed in her pretty blue frock and adorable paw-shaped slippers, she stands before a wooden kitchen dresser overflowing with tempting treats. Jars of jam and preserves line the shelves alongside a large glass jar containing a whole cake and another filled with biscotti, while a little cat-faced jug, decorated cakes and a pretty kitty kitchen mixer fill the shelves below.

A basket of freshly baked cat-face cookies sits nearby and a tiny cat-shaped pudding with its own little spoon waits at her feet. There is certainly no shortage of delicious things to investigate!

Perhaps she's been helping with the baking, or perhaps she's simply wandered into the kitchen at precisely the right moment. Either way, she looks quite delighted with her discovery.

There's something wonderfully comforting about an old-fashioned kitchen, with its shelves of familiar treasures, homemade treats and the promise of something delicious waiting to be shared.

And, of course, no cosy kitchen would be quite complete without a curious cat keeping an eye on everything. Although whether our little kitty intends to share any of those delicious treats is another matter entirely!

After all, perhaps making the world a better place begins with something as simple as sharing a little slice of cake.

✦ About the Print

Developed digitally from a high-resolution scan of MyfanwyNia’s original graphite drawing on textured watercolour paper, this fine-art print combines traditional pencil illustration with digital painting, preserving the delicate linework and textured character of the original drawing while bringing it to life through rich, layered colour.

Each print is created using a xerographic process - an image-forming technique that uses a light-sensitive photoconductive surface whose electrical resistance changes when exposed to light. This precision laser method fuses dry pigment to the paper’s surface rather than allowing it to soak in, giving the artwork a distinctive richness and depth. The tones appear slightly raised, with a natural sheen that shifts beautifully in the light once the heat has set the pigment.

Because this process uses dry pigment, it allows for printing on luxurious coated pearlescent paper, a softly shimmering surface that enhances the dreamlike quality of the artwork.

Each print is carefully produced by MyfanwyNia in her own studio, with particular attention to detail and finish.

✦ Artist’s Note

Bake the World a Better Place began as a pencil drawing, which I later colourised digitally in Photoshop. It was part of a small collection of cat-inspired pieces.

I wanted to create something playful and nostalgic, filled with the sorts of little details that invite you to look a little closer. I loved drawing all the cute cat-themed kitchen accessories, and the little kitty reminds me of a Sylvanian Families cat I've had since childhood.

I absolutely adored that miniature world, spending hours arranging tiny kitchen accessories inside my doll's house. Even thinking about it now makes my heart burst! As I grew older, I kept adding to my collection and I still have it today. For my 33rd birthday, my husband bought me a beautiful, antique-style mahogany display cabinet, deep enough to house three shelves of doll's houses. There's a mirror at the back, so when you peek through the little windows, you can see the whole room reflected inside. I even installed proper doll's house lighting, complete with tiny fixtures, wiring and miniature plugs. It's absolutely magical when all the little lights are on.

It was during a trip to New York that I discovered Re-Ment in a wonderful little shop called Toy Tokyo in Manhattan. Re-Ment is a Japanese series of miniature collectables, often sold in blind boxes. Many of the pieces were compatible in size with the 1:16 scale of my Sylvanian Families collection, but their designs were quite different. They were more ornate, with themes and colours wonderfully reminiscent of mid-century kitchens.

I loved bringing these different influences together: the wide-eyed innocence of a little Victoriana kitty, the nostalgia of my childhood doll's house and the wonderfully detailed, miniature kitschy kitchen accessories I'd collected over the years.

These little worlds have always fuelled my imagination and were a natural inspiration for this drawing. I filled the kitchen dresser with little jars of preserves, cakes, cat-themed crockery and all sorts of sweet little treasures, adding the words Bake the World a Better Place as though they were carved into the back of the wooden shelves.

I particularly loved drawing her little paw-shaped slippers and all the tiny feline-inspired details.

At the time, I was still experimenting with different approaches to digital colouring, working in Photoshop with my old Wacom Cintiq drawing display. I hadn't yet bought my iPad and I was exploring ways of introducing colour into my pencil drawings while retaining their original textures and delicate linework.

For this piece, I created several differently coloured versions of the original linework. By layering these versions and selectively erasing sections, I could reveal the colours underneath, gradually building up the shades and textures I wanted.

Once I was happy with the coloured linework, I merged the layers while retaining their transparency. This allowed me to introduce additional fill colours on the layers below, blending them with the original pencil textures while preserving the delicate details and character of the drawing.

I love how this combination of traditional drawing and digital colour allowed me to bring my little Catland kitchen to life, with all the nostalgic charm of the miniature worlds that have fascinated me since childhood.
