If Cats Could Design
Ever wonder what your cat might dream up as an architect or interior designer? Here's a peek
Molly BrandenburgJanuary 28, 2013Houzz Contributor. I started drawing as a child, from the time I could pick up a pen, and my father and mother encouraged my interest in art. My father, a physician and WWII veteran (flight navigator in Europe) was also a painter who was passionate about his art. He and my mom were also great fans of the work of New Yorker cartoonist James Thurber, so I grew up surrounded by his books and art. My Dad showed me the work of classical artists and told me never to give up and never to compromise my vision. I also had the privilege of studying animation and character design with the late Joe Ranft, of Pixar Animation and Mike Giamio of the Disney Studios.
I'm proud to have my cartoons featured on Houzz.com More
Cats may seem mysterious, but they're not so different from us. They just want a place to hang around; a way in, a way out; a touch of the exotic; and design in which every form has a function.
