Artist Spotlight: UglyKitty
“Ugly never looked so good!”
That’s what greets each visitor to UglyKitty’s Etsy shop. I think it’s false advertising. I haven’t seen one ugly thing in her shop–and that includes Quasi, the “ugly kitty” in question.
Quasi helps raise money for shelter cats at Cool Cat’s Rescue Center, a No-Kill adoption center in Annapolis. When you “purchase” a donation from UglyKitty’s shop, you receive an uber cute pin as a thank you.
When Quasi’s mommy (sorry, can’t find a name–anyone?) isn’t saving the world one kitty at a time, she’s making pretty awesome stuff: cards, magnets, jewelry, housewares, pillows… I can’t decide what I like more
Whether you’re looking for a “halo adjustment” (her words), or a file box to keep all your addresses and business cards, UglyKitty’s shop is quite possibly one of the warmest of warm fuzzies on Etsy.
