AYANE SATO Shapeshifting Cat
Shapeshifting Cat is Silver Design Award winner in 2018 - 2019 Graphics, Illustration and Visual Communication Design Award Category.
Shapeshifting Cat

Throughout the illustrations, a story is told about an adventurous brother and sister in an unknown world. In their travels, they experience new things and come across a shapeshifting cat that guides them. The inspiration behind the illustrations comes from the love of big cats, adventure, and childhood. The challenge was to understand the meaning behind the creation of a cat and to draw one that is ambiguous, perfect, and extremely cute. Lithography provides the ability to bring the world of imagination and art to life with the delicacy and finesse of the lines.
