Kicking Off A Cat’s Modeling Career With The LOLmagnetz Case
Cat’s sinister mustache not photoshopped
Back in April, when we were assembling the first order of LOLmagnetz, breadpig had to rush together some cover art for the sticker adorning the case. My cat back home looked much too sinister for such a joyful product. (See picture on right.)
Time was one thing we didn’t have, so I turned to a Flickr search for Creative Commons licensed photos of ‘funny cat,’ or something like that.
And that’s how we found the lovely Roslyn, who had exactly the expression demanded for a case of LOLmagnetz.
I tried sending a message to the photographer, ocean yamaha, with a note and the promise of a free kit of magnets. This either didn’t go through or I’d smoked too much catnip and dreamed the whole thing up.
Either way, an email showed up from the photographer asking about attribution. I assured him that he was credited both in every kit and on the website.
He (and presumably also Roslyn) was quite pleased to be associated with a product helping so many orphaned dogs and cats. I sent them a pair of kits with one small request: to photograph Roslyn sitting beside a kit of LOLmagnetz.
Well, Ocean Yamaha went above and beyond, providing not only the photos I requested…
but also this:
Truly awesome. The entire breadpig legion collectively salutes you.
