Gomatsu didn't plan to illustrate 80 cats of Taiwan in one day... but he did
"Each pet expresses their own personality; the illustrations are simple, yet tell us so much about each individual cat. Gomatsu captured each in a specific moment, and then amplified the action, expression or energy through his characterful drawings. Brown is holding a cold, rigid blank stare while 노호유 is caught mid-clean. Yuki has a mischievous grin, and Bao looks like a stern bouncer (definitely not letting you in)."
"There were mistakes dotted along the way, but Gomatsu recognises them as a core part of the creative process, and soon into the process he developed the ability to "quickly recognise features and express them in a fun way with minimal lines". He says these drawings "naturally emerged from having to observe quickly, react instantly, and capture each cats charm within a short time.""
Each pet expresses unique personality through simple, characterful illustrations that convey specific moments and amplified actions, expressions, or energy. Brown holds a cold, rigid blank stare while 노호유 is caught mid-clean. Yuki shows a mischievous grin and Bao resembles a stern bouncer unwilling to let one in. Mistakes appear during the creative process and are recognised as integral to development, leading to an ability to quickly recognise features and express them with minimal lines. The rapid observational approach naturally emerged from the need to observe quickly, react instantly, and capture each cat's charm. Plans include painting, 3D modelling, limited-edition merchandise, market pop-ups, and books.
