# Kitty Collages Art Director Lys Creates Cat-Inspired Collage Illustrations By Allison Love | Published 2010-06-23 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/art-director-lys References: [notcot.org](http://www.notcot.org/post/31781/) & [paperoddbird.wordpress](http://paperoddbird.wordpress.com/2010/06/21/lys/) Art Director Lys creates these amazingly cool illustrations by [collaging them together](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folded-echoes). The creepy but 50s-inspired collages feature [cat masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dry-studio-petbrick-65) and animal faces replacing the normal human visage. The artistic creations are insanely creative, and definitely make you think about their significance. I really like the [colorful cat woman](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playful-volume-2) with the red hair. The artistic coloring is amazing, especially the attention to detail with the flowers in the woman's hair. Art Director Lys definitely has some talent in the collaging department. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 28% | Activity: 16% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Collage Artwork:** There is a growing trend of artists using collage techniques to create unique and visually striking artwork. - **Animal-inspired Art:** Artists are incorporating animal imagery into their creations, providing a fresh and intriguing perspective. - **Creepy-but-cool Aesthetics:** The combination of unsettling and visually appealing elements is gaining popularity in the art world, allowing artists to provoke thought and emotion in their audience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art and Design:** The art and design industry can embrace collage techniques to create innovative and captivating pieces. - **Fashion and Accessories:** The fashion and accessories industry can explore incorporating animal-inspired designs, creating unique and eye-catching products. - **Psychological Thriller Movies:** The film industry can adapt the creepy-but-cool aesthetics to create captivating and thought-provoking psychological thriller movies. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Adorable Cat Milk Cartons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adorable-blue-cat.md) - [Artful Elevated Litter Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doggy-bathroom-1.md) - [Contemporary Cat Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/connect-collection.md) - [Cat-Focused Wooden Cafes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tristy-of-the-cats.md) - [Pet-Catered Sleek Furniture Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/papuk.md) - [Cityscape-Like Cat Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mocats.md) - [Modular Magnetic Cat Walls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nyanpeki.md) - [Playful Billboard Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreamies-treats.md) - [Anime Horror-Style Reimaginations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/junji-ito-artwork.md)
