Tim Doyle has taken two the Internets biggest Meme subjects Grumpy Cat and Lil BUB and combined them with the Catbus from My Neighbor Totoroto create his latest print Out of Service.
Lil Bub is an internet cat (if you didn't know...I didn't, I do know Grumpy Cat) and she's doing a book tour. Lil Bub was the subject of a VICE documentary that won all kinds of awards at the Tribecca Film Fest. Lil BUB's book tour will be stopping by Spoke Art in San Francisco for an art show and signing September 7.
BUB is a "perma-kitten", which means she will stay kitten sized and maintain kitten-like features her entire life. She is also a dwarf, which means her limbs are disproportionately small relative to the rest of her body. She has very short, stubby legs and a weird, long, serpent-like body. Her lower jaw is very short compared to her upper jaw, and her teeth never grew in (yes, that's right, she's toothless!), which is why her tongue is usually hanging out. Don't worry, BUB has a very healthy appetite and eats dry and wet food with no problems. Additionally, BUB is a polydactyl cat, meaning she has extra toes, and in her case, one extra toe on all of her four paws. Her front paws each have two opposable thumbs. And then of course there are her big, bulging, wonder-filled green eyes. Some think she can see into the future with those things.
Tim will be doing a companion piece to this print, featuring Lil Bub, debuting at the Lil Bub art show
The Out of Service print is 16 x 20 inch fine art archival giclee of an original watercolor painting by Tim Doyle with a signed and numbered edition of 150.
