I'm looking for specific cat photos for future paintings and/or drawings! Please check out some examples below:
Please provide the name and social media (if applicable) of your cat and anything else you wish to share about them.
You can send multiple submissions, but please don't repeatedly submit the same photo multiple times.
I began painting The Sillies on August 28th, 2022. The theme for this one is cats sticking their tongue out in a silly way!
As of September 2025, over 16,000 photos have been submitted for consideration. I save the photos that spark painting inspiration to me, then I choose from those when I'm about to paint another cat in!
After the painting is complete, I will make prints and jigsaw puzzles of it available for preorder in my Etsy shop. While it's still in progress, I've been sending mini prints of the completed sections to my Noodle Mail patreon supporters!
I will also be sharing my favorite photo submissions and asking fellow artists to try their hand at painting cats. I also plan to make a book of all the best photo submissions as well, as only about 100 cats can be added to the painting itself, and it is quickly filling up.
Thank you so much for your participation, I hope you enjoy watching along as I paint each cat, and that seeing all their silly little faces can brighten your day. <3
