Lodewijk de Kat - Where Yellow Rests by KRAB

This is Lodewijk. A black cat, raised in a home with eight cats, and one of the earliest inspirations behind the KRAB brand. Here he stands amongst tall rapeseed flowers, his back to you, his gaze fixed on something far away. As if he were making the summer think.

The *Where Yellow Rests* colour palette — based on the work of Lauren Wager and further developed in Midjourney — brings together a bright, almost surreal yellow and green that makes the sun shine even when it is raining. Lodewijk’s black contrasts sharply with all that yellow: he stands out, calm and present at the same time.

This is a square digital illustration, warm and energetic, with the scent of grass and summer within it. I, Karina Brouwer, the artist behind KRAB, grew up with cats. Not one or two — eight. Cats are woven into my work, my brand and my way of seeing the world. Lodewijk was one of them. This piece is a tribute to him, and to everyone who knows what it’s like to have a cat that takes over the world as if it had always been there.

This piece is perfect for the homes of cat lovers who want art that truly speaks to them: a living room with character, a study, or a playful children’s room. But also for anyone who simply loves colour, summer and nature. Timeless in composition — a portrait that stays with you, even if you never knew Lodewijk.
