ABOUT ME

.
As a freelance artist I have chosen the alias Catzy Munster, but my real name is Catrine Andersen and I am known for my obsessions with details in drawings, and also paintings inspired by movie monsters and the use of strong color combinations. I have recent years been making a switch from making movie to gaming related pieces, and ultimately find it more rewarding.I've been closed for commissions for several years now because of health issues, but work towards being able to start up again in the future. I struggle with fibromyalgia and CFS/ME, and it affects my creativity periodically. I was much in demand for commission work previously, and did design various things from album art and merchendise to tattoo designs.Although I have drawn most of my life I started painting with acrylics when I was 15 and sold my first painting the following year. Now being chronically ill I don't paint as much as I'd like to, and havent finishedany paintings since 2016. With an eye for details, I prefer these days to replace the pencil with artist pens, or combine both.Most inspired by Universal's classical movie monsters and old black'n'white movies, my use of color in paintings are intense and expressionistic. It all started with my interest for movie history, as I tilted over to the genre of horror. I have always been creative, and it gave me the chance to combine two of my biggest interests. I see a lot of myself in the classical monsters, and since they are originally in black and white, it gives me the freedom to color them as I see them for myself.

Lars Ole (artist name: Ollie) from Shipwrecked here .. just want to add that a partnership with Catzy on the album cover has been an incredibly nice and interesting process .. we had an idea that was to see some vikings ride out of an older city, I made a quick collage with some reference photos and sent to Catzy (having seen many wonderful pictures on her site)We worked alot to find the right location and environment the vikings should be in, .. and so it went back and forth a few weeks before most were in place .. in the last phase (when the horses and the Vikings should be designed) was much back and forth and much opinions from both me and the others in the band about the style of horses and vikings, at the time I suggested that I could take over the remaining both to save Catzy for all opinions and suggestions received from several of us, mostly had the Catzy put things in its proper place..The location and pose of the horses and vikings are designed by Catzy, my contribution is only to draw my line / style over in addition to little shading. We are incredibly pleased with how it all was, and that we print with silver gets a tough twist.. Anyway, it had not been so good without Catzy, are bound to use her again in similar assignments needed.- Then-Producer and drummer Ollie, from Shipwrecked (2015)
