Nine Lives Geometric Cat Boxy Tank Top

A circle, a cat, and the twenty-five steps between them.

Twenty-seven lines from one equation. The innermost is a plain circle. Each ring outward is allowed a little more of the cat — ears rising, cheeks widening — and turned a little less, until the outermost line arrives as the whole animal, sitting still. Nine lives, three times over.

The design

Sage, forest-green and rust rings across the back, with every ninth line drawn in charcoal so the lives can be counted. Above it the Nekomori wordmark and Field Equations / No.02 Nine Lives; below, 猫森 and the equation itself: r_k(θ) = s_k[(1 − t_k) + t_k·r(θ − φ_k)]. A small version of the drawing sits on the left chest.

The fit

Boxy and sleeveless, with wide armholes and raw, frayed edges. Take your usual size for a relaxed drape, or size down for a neater fit.

Field Equations is Nekomori's series of cats drawn by mathematics instead of by hand: each design is a single equation, rendered, then left alone. It continues from Quiet Forms: Field Note 01.

Printed for your order in the USA — nothing is held in stock. Artwork original to Nekomori, generated from the equation printed beneath it.
