First Cat
Step Aside Obama, Gingrich, Ron Paul and Romney! ItsTwey2 New York, NY- "Not Morris, Felix, or Fritz, this tom cat has swagger and he's taking it all the way to the White House in 2012," says Corinne Innis. Twey2, her four-year-old tom cat, is campaigning to become First Cat. He hopes to leave his cozy couch in New York to sleep on the grand historical ones in the White House with Obama, Gingrich, Ron Paul or Romney next year. Innis, a SOHO artist, has created a series of copyright-free paintings/posters to launch Twey2's political campaign. Innis believes that there would be no greater lap cat and loving companion for Obama, Gingrich, Ron Paul or Romney. Twey2 can sit at their feet and purr peacefully during boring press conferences and complicated multinational negotiations. He can also be trusted to contain his urge to cough up hairballs, chase string, crumpled balls of paper, rodents or birds on such occasions. The First Cat paintings range in size and scope. Most are from 8 x10 inches and 18 x24inches. All are mixed media on paper. Innis avoided using the names of Obama, Ginrich, Ron Paul or Romney in the works and did not give Twey2 a particular party affiliation. She believes that humor can go a long way in our increasingly negative political arena. Innis's work is often compared to Jean Michel Basquiat. Her unique style comes from her love of folk and street art. She mimics the fluid stream of communication that is fostered by the graffiti/street art on walls around New York City. Innis has a BA in socio-cultural anthropology from SUNY Purchase. Her work has been shown at the African American Museum in Texas and has appeared in the International Review of African American Art.
