I’ve always been fascinated with the supernatural, magic, fantasy, horror and mythology… these are recurring themes in my illustrations. As a graphic designer, I’ve become a big fan of vintage poster art. Cats In Hats gave me the ideal opportunity to combine these interests. I found inspiration to create these characters in the vintage posters of the magic shows from the 1900-1950’s. Houdini, Thurston, Dante, these are some of the great magicians that enthralled the public with their mystery and esoteric feats in the early 20th century, and still do today.

Maleficat The Dark represents my passion for the horror and dark fantasy genres. He sees himself as the gatekeeper between our reality and a world filled with mischievous creatures, constantly pushing to break through and wreak havoc in our world. He wants to control them and become their master.
