I Created 21 Illustrations Of An Introverted Cat To Help Me Deal With Fear Of People's Judgment (New Pics)

I started illustrating very early. The oldest memory of this is when I was 5 years old, creating a little book with the characters of Winnie the Pooh. And since then my love for creating new worlds and creatures has only grown.

The most challenging part of the creative process for me is keeping the mood and dedication, as I have other obligations and I often find myself tired, with little energy to dedicate to what I love. But this time I've been doing my best to keep Lonecat alive and share it with you.

I love the power to relive my childhood with Lonecat's little world creations. Our inner child must be fed because this is the flame that keeps our joy and authenticity alive, if our child dies, we become bitter and robotic, with no sparkle in our eyes.

I hope Lonecat brings that smile of the child that still lives inside you. These illustrations show us that it is good to live well with yourself, and also have people around you. I wanted people to realize that if they are alone, they have the best company too - themselves.

My inner child is what keeps me creating. I'm in my thirties and I work in graphic design. The years in the job market have already worn my artist down so much that he almost didn't survive. Lonecat has played a very important role in rescuing this artist who still sees the world with the innocent eyes of a child. Don't confuse innocence with naivety, innocence is the state where we are still empty and what shines is our original light before being shaped by society.

So it's very important to bring back that original light and grow from it, leaving aside all social conditioning, that's the only way to live an authentic and creative life.

For the future, one thing that makes me very excited is the possibility of quitting the design and focusing only on Lonecat and its adventures. I'm a dreamer, so many times when I'm creating some Lonecat adventure I find myself imagining him in animations, books and whatever else he fits.

I know it's not that simple, but my dream for the future is to share Lonecat with thousands of people around the world. And who knows, maybe you can help me with that.

And remember you are always your best company.
