My name is Lim Heng Swee, and I'm a self-taught illustrator from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Cats, for me, are very mysterious animals. I like their personalities, which are always curious, calm, and relaxed. I always feel soothed when observing their postures, and I found that the curves of cats can perfectly blend into natural landscape scenes.

I feel the calmness while creating these illustrations and hope you too will discover their secret knowledge of life.

I've also released a book called "Catffirmations", which you can purchase here

My mantra is "Doodling a Smile" which aims to make people smile more in their daily lives through my unique art.

I've shared my cat drawings on Bored Panda before. If you're interested, you can find them here, here, here and here.

    After graduating from university as a Mechanical Engineer, I discovered my true passion for drawing. I don't believe in the concept of retirement as something finite, reserved only for the end of a grueling work life. Instead, I think it should go hand in hand with work, as work is so ingrained in our lives and takes up a significant part of our time. Why shouldn't it be enjoyable throughout? This realization led me to pursue a career as an artist.

    I always like to think about things, often mixing them together to form something new. For example, one minute I might think about a cat's various postures, and then I’d try to link them to something else that might share the same characteristic, which brings me to a mountain landscape with its curvy shapes. So, I try to combine these two in a way and figure out what they have in common. What sticks out? That’s how I created the Cat Landscape series artwork. I just love to inject a sense of humor into my work.

    The hardest part of the creative process is brainstorming the ideas, but that's my favorite part too!

    If you aspire to be an artist, my advice is to clearly define your goals and dedicate your time to planning your work, schedule, and environment to align with your life's aspirations.
