30 Hilarious Illustrations Of A Black Cat With Attitude By This Artist (New Pics)
Interview With Artist
We’re delighted to present the most recent work by the Malaysian creator of a hilarious series of illustrations called Studio After Cigs. If you haven’t seen any paintings by this artist, you’re really missing out, so make sure to check out our previous post where we featured earlier images depicting PowPow the cat and her unique thoughts about life, problems, and self-love.
For those who are not familiar with Studio After Cigs, here’s what the author shared with us while talking about these funny cat illustrations: 'Through PowPow, I hope to convey the sassiness and complexity of these beloved creatures. Each piece is a tribute to their ‘Multitudes’ or the so-called Catitude.'
Now, without further ado, here are the newest 80 paintings created by this artist that will definitely put you in a better mood for the rest of the day. Enjoy!

Love Is Love
When I decided to get a kitten, I had to buy everything for her. Bouche got more boxes than I did, and she didn't even live here yet. With limited finances, and not knowing yet what sort of toys she'd prefer, I was looking at sets with a little of everything. These sets all had a small tunnel, at least one wand toy, and a variety of things for Bouche to bat under the sofa. Most of the sets had this ugly rubber-looking fish. I bought the pretty rainbow set that didn't have the ugly fish. It wasn't until the set came, that I realized. It's okay, though, both Bouche and Audi are equal-opportunity pouncers. They've never asked their toys about their personal lives.
The story behind Studio After Cigs is fascinating, and it starts with the adopted cat who’s the inspiration for creating the character of a grumpy feline with a sassy cattitude, PowPow. Bored Panda reached out to the artist behind the series of illustrations to ask more questions about their work. We wanted to know how this unique source of inspiration led the author of the series into the world of art. We found out: “The grumpy and sassy cattitude of my adopted cat sparked everything.”
I’m Either Too Direct Or Don’t Express My Emotions At All, There’s No In Between
I Guess It’s Time To Update My List
We were wondering how the self-taught artist initially approached learning and developing their artistic skills. The illustrator told us: “I learn at my own pace. Key milestones include discovering new mediums that resonated with my emotional approach to them, in a much funnier way.”

In our previous interview, the artist mentioned that they’re constantly pushing boundaries and exploring new techniques. We asked if there were any specific techniques or approaches they’ve recently explored. We learned that: “There’s no specific technique in the painting, I always go with the flow.”

Lastly, we were curious if any of the artist’s works hold a special place in their heart, and if so, what makes them particularly meaningful. The illustrator answered shortly: “Every piece holds a special place.”

I love how realistic this artist depicts the "still life" elements of their work XD It reminds me of when I was taking art classes in college and would have to to charcoal still lifes and the teacher would come down on us HARD if we didn't depict the reflections/shading correctly on glass XD

I'M TRYING ;_; I just recently got completely cut-off and ostracized from a Discord community, because I told someone in private messages something I'd done when I was 15 (25 years ago) and they reported what I'd said to the mods, and even though I'd said it in DM and not in the public channel, I got permabanned. I was a little (okay a lot) heartbroken because it was a community that shared an interest/hobby of mine, and I am otherwise EXTREMELY isolated IRL. (Note: I know I was stupid to say something to someone, but I didn't expect them to report me to the mods since I'd said it in a PRIVATE message. It was something I did at age 15 that was minorly illegal [like shoplifting] and I've obviously learned my lesson, haven't done it since, and am ashamed I even did it once. Just didn't expect to get permabanned and shunned as if I were a Pilgrim-era witch. The lesson here is: never trust people you just met but think are your friends online.)
