FERAL.

It’s Megan here to drop the details of our next exclusive, FERAL!

I think you’re gonna need a bigger short box. Yea, I’ve been waiting about a month to say that lol. We couldn’t wait to do another cover for Tony Fleecs and Trish Forstner. Our Stray Dogs cover back in 2021 was a really special cover so I knew Skottie would be feeling the pressure to follow that up with something equally fabulous. I think he crushed it. We pretty quickly knew we wanted to homage JAWS. The cat was of course going to be JAWS but… going after a Shark. We closed up shop for the day and I was so excited for the direction Skottie was going in.

Then we started texting ideas back and forth that night, “what about making the shark in a fishbowl?” (please see my fishbowl add in red below haha), “and the cat will be all distorted looking through the glass!” Boom.

We are really proud of the final and think it will look amazing in your collections next to Stray Dogs.
