Artist Jamie Fales of Noosed Kitty describes her work as “happy and sad, light and dark, and a little bit of funny.” The New York native is known for her original watercolor and graphite illustrations featuring a motley crew of feline rapscallions.

A punk kitty, a French kitty, a hipster cat, a cat burglar, and a feline vamp are just some of the characters that make up her merry world of misfits. While many of the Noosed Kitty characters bear woeful expressions, don’t think these somber pussycats are all doom and gloom. Their silly, strange, and stylish looks are designed to shield you from sadness as they put a smile on your face with their unique worldview.

Jamie’s designs are available on prints, t-shirts, buttons, greeting cards, and onesies in the Noosed Kitty Etsy shop. You can also visit her website to learn more about the fine-art graduate, who loathes glitter and admits to being an avid cookie fan.
