We are Cat's Paw Creative Designs
We're a husband-and-wife design team with 30+ years of combined creative experience, two very opinionated muses, and absolutely zero chill.
How It Started
We share a deep love for art, design, and the beautiful chaos of creative expression. Our passion led us to explore new ways to connect with like-minded weirdos, sci-fi nerds, horror enthusiasts, and anyone brave enough to wear their personality on their sleeve. We believe art has the power to bring people together, spark conversations, and create a genuinely positive impact on the world.
We also believe that Diablo and Athena—our 15-lb judgmental Black Shadow Tabby and our 80-lb German Shepherd/Labrador mix who still thinks she's a lapdog—are comedic geniuses who deserve their own merchandise empire.
Meet Our Muses
Diablo is our sarcastic overlord. He's the one giving you the look from across the room. The silent judgment. The withering stare that says "I'm fine, everything's fine, but YOU'RE not fine." His chaotic energy, deadpan energy, and complete disregard for the laws of physics (and household furniture) inspire roughly 47% of our designs.
Athena is pure chaos wrapped in 80 lbs of pure love. She's the living embodiment of "but did you DIE?" She'll attempt to sit on your lap, knock things off tables with her tail, and somehow convince you that everything is a game. Her playful, lighthearted energy and absolute refusal to follow the rules? That's the other 50% of our inspiration.
Together, they've taught us that the best designs come from embracing the weird, celebrating the chaotic, and refusing to take yourself too seriously.
What We Create
Cat's Paw Creative Designs is your hub for artistic expression that doesn't apologize. We specialize in sarcastic, lighthearted, and downright fun designs inspired by Classic Science Fiction, Horror, Fantasy, and Pet-centric graphics rendered in vibrant pop-art style.
From graphic tees to mixology recipe pint glasses, custom artwork, wine glasses, wall art, custom throw blankets, swimwear, jacket designs, and even personalized tattoo designs—we offer a diverse range of creative products that scream personality.
We use industry-leading tools (DAZ3D, Blender, Affinity, Filmora, DaVinci Resolve) to craft designs that are equal parts ambitious and absurd. Every design is DTG-printed on premium Gildan Softstyle 64000 in 13+ colors, including Black, White, Cherry Red, Navy, Royal, Heather Royal, Graphite Heather, Antique Sapphire, and beyond.
The Real Talk
No matter what adventure you're embarking on—whether it's Casual or Formal, Cyberpunk to Steampunk, Gothic to Intimate—we've got the perfect design and accessories to make you look and feel your absolute best while reminding you that weird is a superpower.
We're here to inspire you to pursue YOUR passions, unlock YOUR unique potential, and embrace the unhinged energy that makes you you. Because life's too short for boring merch.
