Napster's Art Project: Family Ties

Family Ties

This is Tigger. When Napster was born, in a hayloft at Lane's End Stables, Bobcaygeon, Tigger was not only his littermate and sister, but also his protector.

When Sue found the kittens, there were three little ginger 'blobs' curled up sleepily, and one little 'tiger' hissing and spitting to keep Sue away.

That little Tiger was Tigger... who still lives at Lane's End.

In August Napster donated a print to the Lane's End Horse Trials and Breast Cancer Fundraiser, and his person Nancy had a chance to visit with Tigger. And with Sue.

It's nice to touch base with the family.

Napster's Tale

Born to a wild mother in a hay loft in Bobcaygeon, Napster relocated to Bondi Village Resort on Lake of Bays to be the stable cat.

Deciding life was better indoors on the couch, he made a lateral career shift to house-cat/couch potato. He got his name because he was free, and when patted, he downloads music.

A crisis precipitated by his getting stuck in the cat-flap door set him on a life path of healthy eating and exercise. Abetted by friends, who carried him away from the house so he had to walk home, he lost considerable weight and regained the freedom of the cat-flap.

Seeking a way to keep busy without eating, he dabbled with various hobbies, finally settling on art.

Using his tail as the brush, and working with an assistant who holds the palate and the canvas within easy reach, Napster began his artistic career in February 2010, and has already amassed a considerable body of work. His bold strokes, and fearless use of colour combine with his unique vision of the world to produce startling and evocative images.

Proceeds from the sale of his work go to A Wing and A Prayer Bird Rescue Centre, the charity Napster chose to atone for past mistakes.
