HOW BOTTLE CATS CAME TO BE

If someone had said to me 2 years ago that we would be publishing a book of tiny cat paintings on bottle caps, I would have laughed. How could that even be a thing?! It all started with 4 discarded bottle caps we noticed on a street in Miami’s Wynwood District (actually, those were the very first caps we painted). Maybe it was the creativity saturating the air at Miami Basel, surrounded by passionate street artists painting incredible and gigantic murals that spurred us to GO SMALL. Whatever it was, we were hooked. Everywhere we went, we picked up bottle caps, then one night, about a year later, we decided to paint a couple. We looked at each other and said “what should we paint?”. Our cat, Boca, was curled up on his favorite studio chair. He looked at us and yawned. Mike said “how about cats?... cats on bottle caps... ha! Bottle Cats!” Not sure what kind of crazy was in the water that day, but it lasted a very long time. 

Graphic designers by trade, we’re now embarking into the publishing world with our very first book, Bottle Cats. To take a peek at our other worlds and our shop, visit kicksparkcreative.com.
