Cat creation
Where art, graphic design and writing collide
Home
Hey, I’m Cat.
I'm a digital artist and graphic designer turning ideas into visual stories.
With 6 years of experience, I blend creativity with precision to bring brands, characters, and concepts to life. Whether it’s a striking logo fitting to your brand, a captivating illustration, or a bold tattoo design, I’m here to make your vision a reality.
about
My name is Cat!
My pronouns are she/they and I'm a 26 year old portuguese person living in big 'ol Germany.
Although I have a full-time job, I do not want it to stop me being an artist or creating. So that is what I am doing: I am not letting capitalism win this time. (while still paying my bills)
what motivates me
It's fun to create; don't let tech bros convince you otherwise.
Art is about the process, about the emotion, about the soul poured into it.
I firmly believe everyone is an artist; you just have to find what works for you.
Discover your voice and join me in making life a bit more fun.

A few facts
I recently started properly writing my own stories instead of keeping them caged inside my little brain, together with my lovely girlfriend, who is a voracious reader. I, however, prefer to be read to, so if you ask me (and even if you don't), it is a good combination.
I’ve been drawing for a long time and have been actively taking commissions for about two years.
Art is my fifth language, right alongside Portuguese, English, German and Spanish (and a bit of French, if I don’t mind embarrassing myself on that particular day).
I am a forever Dungeon Master, and I love feeding on my players emotions to make sure I can keep growing.

Life, Death and the Void: The Heart
A heart-wrenching novel about the despair of carrying the sole remnant of your life before death: a responsibility endangered by a blossoming love for the very embodiment of ruin.
"Hanxi’s last memory was of her own death.Then she woke in a ruined, dark temple, staring up at the human woman who had dragged her back from beyond into the realm of the living. No longer truly alive yet denied the peace of the dead, Hanxi burned with fury. With no revelation as to why this familiar stranger had stolen her soul from the Journey, she demanded that the woman return her, as her people’s goddess, Mother Death, would have willed.Bound by a frail bargain, the two wandered the world, gathering offerings for Hanxi’s burial rite. As they travelled, shards of Hanxi’s past bled through the cracks in her mind. With them came truths buried deep within herself and within the wounded world around her, unfurling like poisoned smoke, until Hanxi reached a single, terrible realisation: the woman was wreathed in the very shadows that coiled around Hanxi’s purpose, hungry to devour it whole."
I feel I have truly fulfilled my life’s goal. Life, Death and the Void has everything I would want from a book, so my girlfriend Esther and I decided to write it ourselves.It deals with heavy topics that are closely tied to the real world, so here’s a heads-up. If you happen to be a woman or fem-aligned person, queer or an immigrant like me, you are very likely to relate to most of what happens in this novel.It also contains a lot of fantasy because I love everything to do with pen and paper and world-building. Although the world-building took a while to develop, writing the first draft of the first book took us around four months. We were completely locked in. It certainly helped that our friends would cry and squeal on calls every time they got to read a new chapter like weekly updates of their favourite show. Except it was our friends, and they psychoanalysed the hell out of our characters.
(Fuck yeah.)

Welcome to CatFlare.I like to make cute things and turn said cute things into other cute things (like stickers!). Problem is I always want to save them instead of actually using them somewhere. So have fun with that same struggle, it is my gift to you.I also make jewellery, and each piece is one of a kind (heirloom moment?). If you like the style but are thinking of something different, whether in colour or bead shape, I can definitely cook something up to suit your needs!More items are coming as soon as I motivate myself enough to do them. (I promise the day will come).But I have fun little projects in mind (most of them, again, pen and paper related because boy oh boy there are so many things that could make a dungeon master's life easier that just do not exist yet! or maybe I haven't looked hard enough but. oh well.)
