Meow 72 / Anne Montel

Anne Montel lives in a small city near Bordeaux in the south-west of France. She creates beautiful watercolour illustrations and comics, makes little wooden creatures, cooks lovely food and is amazingly prolific - as is apparent from her blog. You can find some of her lovely creations in her Etsy Shop as well. I recently ordered her fantastic book Shä & Salomé (written by Loïc Clément) about a girl and her cat - it's absolutely brilliant, even if my French is limited and I can't understand everything yet. Anne's black cat is called Minuit. Her childhood cats Pookie and Trinity live with her father.

Meow 68 / Lisa Jones



LisaJones Studio is run by Lisa and her partner Edward. They started by screen printing a range of gorgeous illustrated stationery (I discovered their work when I purchased a lovely greeting card with a Collie dog) and have since branched out into ceramics, clocks, tea towels and even picture books! All available from her shop here. I absolutely love her work, so I was excited to find a lot of wonderful cat-themed items to feature here. Lisa used to have an adorable cat named Pocket, who as she says is now 'out of town and living a different kind of life'. (Much like my own cat Elvis, who left one day and went to Hollywood).
