Flounder Cat All Designs are Hand Drawn by Nina
Nina, also known as Flounder’s mom, is an award-winning artist, animator, and children’s book illustrator whose creative passion shines through every piece of her work. With years of experience bringing whimsical characters to life, Nina has found her greatest inspiration right at home — in the form of her beloved fish, Flounder the Purrmaid. Flounder isn’t just her muse, but also the heart and soul of this collection.
Nina’s favorite subject to paint and draw has always been Flounder, and every design you see begins with real-life moments captured through photography. Flounder has happily “modeled” for countless reference photos, allowing Nina to capture her playful personality and signature expressions with incredible accuracy and charm. From the initial sketch to the finished artwork, each design is lovingly hand-drawn and carefully crafted by Nina herself.
Every product in the Flounder Cat collection represents the bond between artist and muse — a blend of Nina’s artistic skill and Flounder’s irresistible charisma. The result is a one-of-a-kind line of artwork and products that are not only beautiful, but also deeply personal. When you bring home a Flounder Cat design, you’re not just getting a piece of art — you’re getting a little piece of FlounderLand.
Flounder standing on a dark wet rock, looking out at something well past the frame, her back half turning into a teal scaled purrmaid tail with sea spray coming off it. Mouse Toy is parked at her front paws, along for whatever this is. The line reads in two parts, white then teal: I want to be... where the people aren't. Hand drawn by Nina Leipold.
What it's on
- Unisex cotton tee, the everyday version
- Crewneck sweatshirt, for cooler mornings
- French terry raglan crewneck, a softer cut of the same idea
- Women's racerback tank, for warm days at the edge of the crowd
- Kids tee, for the small introvert
- 9 oz scented soy candle, poured in the USA
- 40 oz insulated travel mug, enough water to skip the refill line
The earlier purrmaid tees
The same line ran on an earlier purrmaid drawing, still available on a garment dyed Comfort Colors tee, a unisex cotton tee and a kids tee, in brighter colorways than the newer run.
Who Flounder is
Flounder is a real cat who talks using communication buttons. Nina draws her from life, which is why the designs look like a specific animal having a specific thought rather than a generic cartoon cat. In this one the thought is fairly clear.
Where the name comes from
Flounder is a purrmaid. Purrmaids are supposed to be curious about people. This one is not, and the tail is doing all the work of pretending otherwise.
