He Knows Where He’s Going. He Always Has.

A tall, thin black cat stands in a polka-dotted robe and pointed wizard’s hat, lantern in hand, expression somewhere between ancient wisdom and mild irritation. The background is deep teal, the linework bold and storybook-confident, the mood a perfect balance of gothic fairy tale and dry wit. This is a cat with a destination, a plan, and absolutely no interest in discussing either.

"He packed the lantern first. Everything else followed. He has done this before and he will do it again and the hat has never once been optional."
