Round everything — head, eyes, body, paws. Descended from Roman farm cats and still built like them. They are not lap cats and dislike being carried, which surprises people who buy one for the teddy bear face. The dense plush coat has no undercoat to speak of, and they gain weight very easily.
Meet Fig
Grey tabby British Shorthair cat, perfectly round face, large wide-set round eyes, dense plush coat, chubby cheeks, small ears, tongue slightly out against his better judgment. Has assessed everyone in the room. Has filed his conclusions. Will share none of them. Tolerates the crew. This is, for Fig, a significant emotional gesture.
About the design
Black and white photorealistic stencil art, deep shadows, high contrast.
Every character in the crew wears one tiny red clown nose — the only colour
in the entire design.
Printed on garment-dyed heavyweight cotton with an unstructured, relaxed fit.
Why the british shorthair works as stencil art
The perfect circles are the design. Round face, round wide-set eyes, dense plush coat — a shape so simple it survives any reduction.
