Controversial Pictures of Painted Cats
Tom BoredPanda staff
Controversy sells big time – and if you publish a book that in the reviews is called “so weird that it’s sort of irresistible” – then you’re doomed to go down the road of success. That’s what happened to a New Zealand author Burton Silver and illustrator Heather Busch, after the release of their comedy book “Why Paint Cats: The Ethics of Feline Aesthetics“, a collection of bizarrely colored portraits of cats.
The book was designed to mock the current global obsession with cats. However, irony is not a universal strong suit of the cat lovers worldwide, so the book was both loathed as much as praised. The stunning retouching done on the cats was confused for real paint on their fur, which also added to the criticism.
Silver and Busch strongly argue that none of the feline models was hurt during the making of the book, and all the vibrant colors and effects on their fur are made using Photoshop.

Wow, that’s a great piece of info you have here! Digital image retouching is not my strongest side. For some projects I have to draw thing but I have absolutely no time for finding my way through all the techniques possible. There is no way I can afford myself sitting glued to my laptop trying to do digital image editing myself. It’s not worth it, I’ll lose more. I always order digital photo editing services on FixThePhoto or lavalu and it helps me a lot. Who could guess that low pricing can be equal good editing job. They really hit a home run there!
