Victoria Fernandez Illustrated 30 Days of Colorful Cats

I’ve spoke of dai­ly, short-term projects before—like #100daysofpapercutz by Melis­sa McFeeters. You can learn a lot from explor­ing a sin­gle top­ic for a set num­ber of days. In this same vein, illus­tra­tor Vic­to­ria Fer­nan­dez suc­cess­ful­ly com­plet­ed #30daysofcats. Each day, she would cre­ate a cat-themed art­work and post it on her Insta­gram. Some are cute, oth­ers are sad, but all are done in Vic­to­ri­a’s bold, vin­tage-inspired style.

“The result was a beau­ti­ful and inter­est­ing expe­ri­ence,” she writes on her web­site, “not only due to the illus­tra­tions I pro­duced, but also due to the unex­pect­ed par­tic­i­pa­tion and sup­port of so many peo­ple rein­forc­ing the project.” She end­ed up com­plet­ing #30daysofdogs afterwards—this one a com­mis­sioned gig by La Guia del Per­ro, a Span­ish guide for dog owners.

Here are some of my favorite cats. You can buy Vic­to­ri­a’s book of them in her Etsy shop. Meow!
