Print in process: cat says NO

Working on this print for the April 5 protest. I see it’s going to be international too!

Family and friends have lived with  cats off and on, and I’ve house-sat a lot of cats, some of whom I loved, but I wouldn’t say I’m a cat person. Still, I admire that nobody says ‘no’ better than a cat, and I’m sort of amazed that the cat’s expression here is just what I wanted.

I drew from different pictures of cat art. Still want to carve a decorative border.

This is fairly small. I’ve seen small signs be effective, but maybe I’ll see if I can paint a large version on poster board. I don’t know though, when you get a face just the way you like it, it’s almost impossible to reproduce, and I’m really pleased with this particular cat.

  1. i love this print. the "no" on the cats face says it all. my city is even listed as one of the protest places and 3 blocks from me. i was asking my neighbor why are they going to be in front of the fire station? and then oh, city hall is next door in the same block!!
