DazCat is a Bristol based graffiti artist and illustrator. They are best known for their signature cat character as well as other quirky animals that decorate city walls across England and beyond. They paint their unique animal characters with anthropomorphic qualities so that people can feel more connected to them. These characters are complimented by abstract, nature-based themes and backgrounds. DazCat often paints these characters to reflect the mood that they were in at the time of painting. Painting large scale is where they feel most at home but are equally happy finding obscure locations for people to happen upon in the city, bringing moments of escapism amongst the city greys.

Hi, I'm primarily a graffiti mural artist and illustrator. I am from Bristol and have been decorating the city with my quirky animal characters for over ten years. Large scale is where I feel most natural, but I am not limited to big walls!
