Louis Wain – master cat illustrator
Why Louis Wain? Well, his work has seeped so deep into my brain for so long that we’re not talking debt of gratitude here, but stalking ambitions. Not that there’s any way in illustration heaven that I’d be be fit to clean his many cats’ […]
Tomcat Waits – Clawing time (Homage to Tom Waits)
Like Parallel Felines, the name of the album guided this choice. The fact that it’s a blinder of an amazing album which turns me into a purring machine did also have some bearing in the decision. I never thought the lines and shapes would amount […]

Hellcat Smith
A return to the origins of the Cat Covers principle, this album appealed in its sparse colour scheme – and it follows the usual rule – it’s an AMAZING album, one I have listened to obsessively over the years and return to regularly. I struggled […]
