Lots of new posters and artworks for the fast-approaching Fall show season! I'll be at: Fan Expo Canada, August 27-30. Ottawa Comiccon, September 11-13. Danforth East Arts Fair, September 19-20.

Years ago when I was in an environment policy course, as the official spokesperson for "none of this will work" I suggested that carbon sequestering could be vulnerable to ideologically motivated arson in a discussion. The class had a chuckle at my expense. Where are we on the ridiculous scale now?

Progress on the painting, Literacy Parts the Clouds of Ignorance. What the photo does not capture is the golden shimmer of the sky and fire. I will post a video when completed to show this off properly. ❤️‍🔥

Caturday night at the movies presents Attack of the Vaccubots, an Upright Pictures and Scaredy Cat Film.

The Sentinel. Photo from my collection, no date/info.

Turning undead with the red star. Inspired by a scene in a Dr. Who episode, lol.

christ if that’s not a metaphor for our times

Here's a great early 20th-century inspired poster, Empty Bowls!. If you like my work follow me here for more and visit my print shop at nathannunart.etsy.com Thank you, Cats of Yore, for the show!

THURSDAY ART SHOW! If you are a working artist (i.e. you depend on income from your art) just respond to this post with your non-pornographic, non-violent, non-Al generated CAT-RELATED art/crafts and I will repost! From now until 9:30 pm EDT. Include any relevant links like your website or etsy!

We’re all good cats here. Things can be hard but even so, we are doing great at being good cats

In my garden this morning right outside the door.

All Aboard! (2019) Cat Transit Workers public transit poster. The dream of functional public transit.

"Literacy Parts the Clouds of Ignorance" painted version in the works. The yellow sky and fire will have an iridescent gold look when done, that is the plan. The border will have painted artwork too.

Hmmmm. Better keep an eye on that. You don't want alienated & resentful felines to develop cat consciousness & become politically active... [props to @nathannun.bsky.social for the image]

"Red Paw Bats'Em off the High Shelf" (2019). This one goes a little under the radar as a cat poster because it is abstract but the red cat is there, batting reaction down. The artwork is based on the famous constructivist lithograph by El Lissitzky, created during the civil war in 1919.

Kittens should be careful what they imagine reading by firefly light in the Gloomwood. Don't let your imagination run away with you; you might need to run from your imagination!

Here's "Many Furs, One Working Class," a cat poster based on an historical anti-fascist poster from 1937. If you like my work follow me here for more and visit my print shop at nathannunart.etsy.com Thank you, Cats of Yore, for the show!

Cat Star Union (2018). The design of this one is based on an iconic 1960's space poster. My iteration featuring, of course, a very enthusiastic cosmonaut cat. How would space exploration be different in a different form of society?

Historically accurate "Where the Wild Things Are."

Glory to the fishercats!

Someone is inevitably going to post about how their teacher actually tried to murder them with a book once, so I just want to get ahead of that and say, "if you read more, you would understand this generalized post is not about your highly specific situation I couldn't possibly know anything about."

I'm pleased to share this new paper, "The myth of 'catch-up' development". The paper assesses trends in core-periphery inequality since 1960, and draws several main conclusions: 🧵https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/13563467.2026.2659076

The myth of catch-up development: trends in core–periphery inequality from 1960 to 2023

The conventional narrative in international development holds that poorer countries are “catching up” with richer countries through the process of capitalist growth. This paper assesses this claim ...

A fun little cartoon from a long while back.

"We Shall Beat Our Swords Into Plowshares and Study War No More" (2018).

PM aggressively seeks huge, old-world, oil projects while the fires burn.

Thames Water claims it is going bankrupt, again, with £20bn in debts. So it needs bailing out, again, so it can hike its bills by 40% in April, again. Don't, let them go bankrupt. As soon as they do it all becomes Government property with no debts. Nationalisation for free.
