Although cat videos and pictures have taken over the Internet, cat pictures in general still remain popular whether they were captured with a camera or not. French painter Raphaël Vavasseur creates an evocative mix of otherworldly fantasy styles meshing with a tangible comic book influence all involving cats as his main focus.

Vavasseur says, “When I was 20 years old, I remember that I painted a black cat, which seemed very pleasing to the people around me. I’m 41 years old now, so it means that it’s been 21 years that I’ve been painting cats.”
