One day, one of my followers asked me if she could buy my art prints. I am so happy but I didn't know how to do that, so I started looking into it. After some research, I decided to do something BIG — Open an online shop to sell my art in different forms. To make this happen, I used "Fourthwall", a platform that helps creators like me build their brands.

On my online shop, you can find a selected collection of art prints, t-shirts, tote bags, and accessories. It was an amazing experience to create this online shop, seeing my art beyond the screen and come to life.

Today marks a significant milestone for me as I proudly share my 365th cat art piece on Instagram. It has been an incredible journey of creativity in the past 367 days.

Throughout this challenge, I have explored various illustration styles, which has been both enjoyable and challenging. However, I feel that there is still much to learn in the field of illustration. In IG, I come across many talented and experienced artists. It makes me realize that there is always room for improvement and further study. Nevertheless, I believe our skills and creativity will continue to grow, even if IG loses popularity in the future. So, if creating art brings us joy, let's focus on creating art for ourselves, not for the platform.

I am grateful for the support and encouragement I have received from everyone, whose appreciation has motivated me to continue creating. I also extend my gratitude to the cats who have served as my muses, inspiring me with their charm and grace. As this daily art challenge comes to an end, I will transition to posting once every other day. I am excited for this new chapter and look forward to sharing my artistic endeavors with you in the days ahead. Thank you for joining me on this artistic adventure!

Dear all, I wanted to share that I will be taking a break from my cat art journey. I deeply appreciate all the support through your follows, likes, comments, and shares; they have been incredibly meaningful to me on this artistic journey!

Over the past half year, I've started studying art history, and I have been amazed by the works of great masters like Giotto, Hieronymus Bosch, Raffaello Sanzio, Caravaggio, Goya, Manet, Monet, Cézanne, Van Gogh, Mucha, Mondrian, Kandinsky, Picasso, Duchamp, Dali, and Frida Kahlo... Their incredible art has inspired me to embark on a new journey to learn about art from the basics. Despite my background in design and the absence of formal training in drawing and art, I'm excited to dive headfirst into this new learning adventure.

I also want to give a special thanks to our cats; they are the true muses of my art. One of my favorite quotes from Van Gogh is: "I want to touch people with my art. I want them to say: He feels deeply, he feels tenderly." I hope you can feel the love I have for cats in my work.

As we come to the end of 2024, I wish you all a Happy New Year filled with joy and success in 2025! Rest assured, I'll still be active on Instagram, so we can stay connected.

In the dream, a cat perches on a windowsill, peering out at a night sky ablaze with stars and a vivid nebula. Suddenly, a striking image unfolds before its eyes - a majestic blue whale gliding gracefully through the sky above. This dream hints at a longing for adventure and exploration, signaling a deep-seated desire within you to set out on a fresh and exciting journey towards the unknown.

At the Christmas party, a man and a woman sway gracefully to the music, lost in the enchantment of the moment. Between them, a curious cat weaves through their steps, adding a playful and unexpected charm to their dance. The cat seems to enjoy the fun, watching the people dance and sometimes trying to join in. The scene is joyful and cozy, filled with holiday spirit and warmth.

On an ancient wall, there is a special image that catches everyone's eye. The top part shows Santa Claus, complete with his red suit and big beard. But the bottom part is a big cat, with its cute face and long tail. People wonder if this strange creature is real or just a fun imagination from the past...

I created a drawing series named "Cat's Tale"! Each drawing narrates a distinct tale incorporating elements of horror, sci-fi, and heartwarming moments, among others. Through this series, I explore a diverse range of genres that celebrates the multifaceted nature of our whiskered companions. I hope you enjoy the fun and surprises in each story!

I wanted to take a nice photo with my cat, but it turned into a disaster! She just wouldn't sit still and kept moving. Every time I clicked the camera, the pictures came out all blurry and messy, like a multi-exposure effect.

In this artwork, I blend collage shapes with hand-drawn elements to create captivating cat portraits that are both fashionable and fantastical. By combining different textures and forms, I bring out the unique and imaginative qualities of these feline subjects.

I created a fun art drawing series - "Cats in Disguise" where I transform cats into various objects like piano, plastic bag, high heel shoes, and more. This creative endeavor merges the playful nature of felines with the unexpected forms of everyday items. Each drawing captures the essence of cats while reimagining them in unconventional roles, inviting viewers to see these beloved cats in a whole new light. (Slide 1 - 4 are new artworks)

Sitting at the bottom of the stairs, lost in deep thought or perhaps overcome with emotion, a person finds solace in the presence of a nearby cat. In our toughest moments, the cat, sensing the need for comfort, quietly approaches them. In this moment of shared silence, it becomes evident that within the depths of every heart, there exists a cat residing.

Most cats tend to agree on one thing: "Do not pet my belly!" However, my cat is quite the exception to this rule. Unlike many felines who recoil at the thought of a belly rub, my cat adores them. Whenever I reach towards that soft, vulnerable underbelly, instead of swatting me away, my cat blissfully sprawls out, inviting me to belly rub.
