Suppachai Vong (Louis) is an illustrator and a sketching instructor based in Bangkok. He has an academic background in Traditional-Thai architecture. This led to an interest in urban aspects, cultural things, and drawings of buildings, especially old buildings which reflect the era and events of their time. He is particularly interested in structures with artistic design and features such as temples and palace buildings.

Cat & The City : A Gathering of Cats (1)

A cat gathering all over Venice
It's something that happens every year. In the days before the Venice Carnival begins where blue whales rise above Lake Venetia to release air bubbles into the sky. Many people believe that cats are attracted to whales, and that bubbles have a special effect on cats. Or perhaps they just enjoy watching things move in the air.
