spaced out cat illustrations
This whimsical illustration diptych features two feline companions that capture the essence of curiosity and cosmic wonder. Inspired by both the playfulness of cats and the boundless mystery of space, the Space Cat (“Major Tom”) embarks on a colorful, cosmic journey among stars and galaxies. Drawing on a vibrant palette and imaginative details, this piece celebrates the adventurous spirit of cats. The design speaks to those who dream of the unknown and revel in the limitless possibilities of the universe.
In contrast, the Earth Cat (“Ground Control”) brings a grounded, serene presence. With nature-inspired elements and an equally bold use of color, this illustration highlights a harmonious connection to Earth. Both pieces are crafted in a whimsical style, combining elements of folk art and fantasy, making them perfect for lovers of cats, outer space, and nature alike.
Together, this collection of art prints serves as a playful narrative between ‘Ground Control’ and ‘Major Tom’, embodying the duality of exploration—both of the world around us and the worlds beyond. These illustrations are designed to inspire a sense of wonder, adventure, and connection with the natural and cosmic realms.
Artist’s Note: The alternate titles of these pieces serve as a little easter egg to my creative process — my creative soundtrack during the making of this collection was David Bowie’s second self titled album. One of his most popular songs from this album, ‘Space Oddity’, has a line that reads ‘Ground Control to Major Tom’.
