About Louis Wain's Catland

This is a group dedicated to the King of the Cat Artists, Louis Wain!
Please feel free to post any and all Louis Wain related pictures to the group.
While Louis was most famous for his felines, you may post other art works of his as well as your own Wain inspired art! This group is sort of an extention of my Louis Wain group at Yahoo, but thought I'd bring Wain to Flickr since I couldn't find a group about him here...so welcome to Louis Wain's Catland!

To give you a better idea of how the photos of your cats and kits with a Wain feel and look to the picture for this group, here are some photos of cats from members here that have captured the Louis Wain style:

See how the eyes and over-all expression in the photo above is
similar to the eyes in this colored drawing by Louis Wain:

And notice also how the tradmark 'wallpaper' style of Louis Wain's
later works have been captured in the photo below:

In general - all personal cat photos should have features like - big wide eyes, very expressive faces - either smiling or sad/scared - anthro (cats doing something like a human would - like sitting up while watching the TV) also - set against wallpaper backgrounds or carpets or other styles as seen by Wain's work in this group.

Cheers from Catland
