Andy Warhol's 25 Cats Name Sam and One Blue Pussy

Calling all creative cat lovers!

The Fang & Fur Feline Art Competition is on! There are 3 cat-egories: Adults, Kids 11-16yrs, and Kids 10yrs and under.

You can use any medium you like; paint, pencil, cat fur, you name it! The visual art form you go for is also entirely up to you. You might be a traditionalist and purrfur to paint or sculpt, or purrhaps macaroni collage is more your thing? The
one cat-ch is that it must depict a cat, or have some sort of feline element!

The winners will be chosen by designer and artist Evie Kemp!

We’re very excited to have Evie Kemp onboard as our judge. Evie is a serious mover and shaker in the design world, and is known for her maximalist, super colourful aesthetic.

Her work spans interiors, styling, art, design, and fashion. Check out her creations over on Instagram, including her South Auckland home which is an artwork in itself! Evie has also recently released an e-book: ‘Much’ – The Enthusiasts Guide to Maximalist Interiors. 

Evie started out making art prints, often depicting cats (and a lesser species known as dogs). She even created a Zombie Cats Calendar back in 2013! Oh how we wish she would reissue it!

So what, you may be asking, is Evie looking for in the entries? Well, according to Evie: “It’s really important for me to see the personality in each piece! Cat’s are wonderful weirdos and they’re all different. I’d really love to see that
expressed in your art in whatever way you choose!”
