Captain Feline is a fun range of t-shirt illustrations blending pop culture and cats. Its first series is inspired by classic and cult movie characters with cat heads placed on their bodies, making for designs that are interesting and adorable. The design team for this project consists of Australian graphic designers Amanda and Dave, along with Kelly in Boston, Massachusetts.
