About Us

Hi, I’m Joe Carman-Sami, a Graphic Art Designer, and the Founder of Cat + Monkey.

I create my own designs for T-Shirts that have a luxurious feel, all while supporting the Born Free Foundation.

All production is now in-house, which means I personally print each T-Shirt and send it directly to you.

My design process is based on automatic drawing - spontaneous, subconscious marks that I later develop into finished artwork.

Many of my designs feature a cat and a monkey, inspired by my symbolic take on being a cat parent - I’m the monkey, with opposable thumbs and the tools to create, while my cat, true to form, couldn’t care less.
