Copycat: And a Litter of Other Cats by David Yow, Enter to Win!

Artist David Yow has a winner on his paws, with his zany, witty, vibrant, raucous and laugh-out-loud hilarious, coffee-table book, Copycat: and a litter of other cats. 


Love cats? Love puns? Fan of  the absurd?  Then you will love this book!

Artist David Yow has exhibited his work-including originals of some of the cats that appear in Copycat, at galleries and festivals across the world!  In 2013, a solo exhibition of Yow's cat prints was exhibited at the Donaufestival in Austria.

I am a huge fan of cartoons and art, and I love plays on words. Copycat is a  160 page collection of boldly illustrated cat puns referencing everything from literary classics such as Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,  to Grumpy Cat, to straight puns "Catsup". Feeling down? Leafing through this book is sure to make you smile! It is the purrfect gift for cat lovers of all ages and one you will want to turn the pages of again and again! It's also purrfect cocktail party fodder, keep this just a paw's reach away on your coffee-table,you have an  instant conversation starter!

ABOUT THE BOOK: David Yow says: I love cats. Always have. The only time I didn't have a cat was a brief hell in Chicago where I lived in an apartment whose landlord didn't allow them. At that place, I had a life-sized cardboard cutout of a cat named Toody. I also love wordplay. I'm the only adult I hang out with who still gets a kick out of puns. I make up palindromes. I used to write songs and poems. In this book of cat-pun drawings, I have made a concerted effort to come up with ideas that range from really funny to really amusing. The entire litter of animals in this book are line drawings that are "colored in" with photographic textures, and each cat is dropped into a photographic setting. Yep, that's the truth.

Want to learn more?

Read interviews with David Yow at Catster, at SPIN.com, and at the Brooklyn Paper.

ABOUT DAVID YOW: David Yow is an artist, actor and musician who is best known as the singer of the bands the Jesus Lizard-arguably the best and most popular indie rock band of the 1990s-and Scratch Acid. He lives in Los Angeles.
