These Cool Cat Paintings Are Super Strange

American painter and illustrator Danial Ryan is far more obsessed with cats than the average kitty fanatic. They play a lead role in his artistic creations. Using acrylic paint on canvas, Ryan portrays our feline friends in a variety of surreal, absurd and often bizarre scenarios from his studio in Tampa Florida. We've handpicked a few of our personal favorites from his collection below, but you can see the entire on-going series via his official site or through his personal Instagram profile @artofdanialryan.
