Hibernation. Can’t work, shan’t work. Might as well use the extra free time to catch up on some sleep.
Quarantine Cats! While the Apocalypse might well need 4 horsemen, the 2020 lockdown quarantine is better expressed in cats!
Curled into a loose, satisfied spiral, this illustration radiates a palette built almost entirely from mint green and soft butter yellow – both cool-leaning but lifted by the warmth of that golden underbelly – with punchy magenta-pink whiskers and toe-line details adding a playful contrast note. Those mint and butter tones sit in an analogous relationship, so walls painted in a pale sage or a washed jade will draw the greens outward into the room without overwhelming them; equally, a warm off-white with a faintly yellow undertone flatters the butter tones and keeps the overall effect sunny rather than cold. For something with more tension, a dusty mauve or muted rose wall plays directly against the mint using near-complementary logic, and the magenta detailing in the print bridges the two without effort. This is a print that suits Scandi-minimalist interiors, contemporary folk, playful maximalist, and retro-modern spaces – anywhere clean shapes and limited palettes are used with personality rather than restraint. The subject is a cat lost in deep, happy rest, which makes it an easy choice for a bedroom, a reading corner, or a home studio where a gentle, unhurried mood is welcome. It belongs to the 4 Cats Of The Quarantine collection, a group of prints with a shared spirit of stillness and finding comfort in small creatures, and it pairs naturally with the other prints from that collection arranged as a gallery wall. It also makes a genuinely good gift for anyone who keeps cats or who appreciates illustration with a quietly witty sensibility.
All three sizes are printed with archival pigment inks on Enhanced Matte art paper, a smooth, museum-grade gallery stock whose glare-free surface reads equally well under natural daylight and artificial lighting, and whose soft finish sits comfortably inside both a slim oak or black metal frame and a more ornate plaster or antique gilt moulding. The A4 (21 × 29.7 cm) works well propped on a shelf or anchoring a smaller gallery wall grouping; the A3 (29.7 × 42 cm) holds its own as a standalone piece above a bedside table or desk; and the A2 (42 × 59.4 cm) has enough presence to fill a generous wall, particularly in a bedroom where the cat’s sleeping pose sets the tone for the whole room. This print is also available as a 28 × 40 inch (70 × 100 cm) canvas print, ready to hang with no frame needed.
