Tim Walker's 'Pastel Cats' -1998


"A lot of people get confused when they see this image.  They think it was done by computer, but we actually took pigment powder, mixed it with talc to get the right ice-cream pastel colours, and brushed it into the cats...."  The cats were such vain creatures - they adored being touched and pampered."
