Beginning with one pet cat and a blog, they’ve since welcomed three more purring inhabitants into their home, created a line of stationery and accessories, and just this week, published their first book. The crafty, cat-friendly duo behind Catwork has gained quite a bit of attention in Taiwan for their handmade goods and love of cats, who inspire their work. 

Catwork was one of the participants in the recent 2006 Artists’ Exhibition in Taipei (the one that my husband and I unknowingly walked into and found ourselves standing in the center of). What drew me to their work was the simplicity of the subtely-quirky images screenprinted onto raw, untreated canvas.

I bought a little zipper bag for myself, and a large canvas bag for our cat-loving friends. I’m now trying to figure out how to get my hands on their new book!
