We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Kitty Cat Kustom Arts. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Kitty Cat below.

Kitty Cat , appreciate you joining us today. Learning the craft is often a unique journey from every creative – we’d love to hear about your journey and if knowing what you know now, you would have done anything differently to speed up the learning process.

I did learned basic skills in school and throughout my Photography / Audio Video / Design courses but I feel like i taught myself because i learned a lot by just doing it and just making mistakes along the way. I think my learning process was very fluid and i couldn’t be more happy with it, not sure if i would like to speed up my learning process because it was flowing along with my experience and age, i´m always learning new stuff on my path.
About skills i think the most essential is to have an open mind, be proactive, do your researches, following the new trends or most important the new technologies and give attention to details, the rest comes with experience and hard work.
The obstacles i think can stood in the way somehow is to find your niche, or maybe find the type of art you are more into it because as an Artist doing various type of work you can get lost, luckily i have found mine and i’m truly happy i can work with such beautiful people around the world.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

I started my love for art very young as my mother was an artist/painter herself so as long as i can remember i was sketching and painting on notebooks or whatever i could think of. I have won a prize for the best draw as a 5 year old on christmas at school and that made me very proud although I am kind of a shy person so normally i hate the spotlight and i love to be in my bubble. Also as a teenager i watched a lot of Music video clips, i loved to see and try to find out how they were made/Filmed etc. Along the way in school i always choose to be where the art was so i was always eager to learn some crafts, i did some ceramics , painting, and then i actually went to a Audio and Video course were i learned to film and edit, i loved that, guess it came from my father since he was always recording everything and had a huge love for photography.
Needless to say that Music was always and has been always a great part of it, i’m always creating with music on the back and since my family has a lot of musicians i was always around instruments and everything. Sadly i cannot play that well and i did try it but i stick to my artwork and i’m happy with it.
Eventually i pursuit photography and lab photography along with the desire to learn Design so i did enroll myself to some courses and i loved everything, when i discovered that i could combine my music passion with photography by taking photos and making videos at festivals i could not stop so it became what i loved for a while.
Since i can’t stay still and have this need to try different things i started to make posters and illustrations for friends that actually had bands etc so i guess people did start to pay more attention to my work and i got to work with tons of super amazing bands and projects around the world. In the meantime i had a job as a shop manager at a Tattoo Shop so of course i had to mix my love for tattoos and music on my crafts. So overall i guess i am an artist because i don’t feel im just a graphic designer or a photographer or a videographer or anything, i have a bit of everything in me and i love to change and sometimes go to a music festival and record or being at home illustrating. That’s just me!

For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?

For me as an artist the most rewarding aspect is that feeling after you create something and get a good feedback, there’s no better feeling in the world than having the person who asked you something being happy and saying it exceeded their expectations, of course sometimes it doesn’t happen right away but it’s part of the process and part of growing. My heart just races every time and i feel such a joy!

Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?

My goal is to be learning along the way and to provide art that people can relate to and be happy with it.
Just the feeling of being recognized and having people liking my work is enough to go forward.
