30 Times This Artist Made Illustrations That Capture The Essence Of Cats Perfectly (New Pics)
Interview With Artist
Portugese artist Luis Coelho is rather well known all over social media for his charming illustrations/comics featuring kittens and cats that seem to communicate with humans... in rather peculiar ways. These cute and amusing drawings easily capture the quirkiness of cats, allowing viewers to envision them actually posing these questions or phrases.

Luis described his return to drawing as a rediscovery of the "simple joy of pen and ink." He shared, "The turning point was a playful exercise with my nieces, where I created animals on paper that they could imagine as guardians of their dreams." This exercise led to the development of his current style, which combines dreamy, intricate line work with a touch of sweetness and obscurity. Coelho noted, "Cats, in particular, became a focus due to their immense potential for varied interpretations and the positive response they received on social media."

So has no one noticed how his fangs are on his chin, not his mouth? XD
Discussing his process, Luis stated, "My process is fluid and intuitive... I let accidental lines or patterns influence the direction of the illustration." He compared this approach to his earlier days of abstract painting, emphasizing a method where the pen takes on a life of its own.
On the unique theme of cats communicating with humans, the artist said, "The idea was inspired by the whimsical and sometimes mysterious nature of cats themselves." He draws inspiration from real-life observations and the imaginative perspectives of these enigmatic creatures.

Things I have learnt, now fast moving hands (if needed to evade) and a cautious eye even when blinking at them.
The impact of audience feedback is significant for the comic artist. He remarked, "The response from my audience has been a significant driving force." He often incorporates suggestions from his Instagram followers, which adds a community aspect to his work.
He also expressed openness to new opportunities, saying, "I'm open to exploring new avenues with my cat-themed illustrations."
