Crazy Cat is a cat-loving girl. She has loved cats and dogs since she was a child. She also loves painting. When she was a child, a litter of stray cats was born in the garden of Crazy Cat's home. She has raised them ever since, and it has been 20 years. This is the origin of Crazy Cat's desire to do her part for stray animals and furry children.
In 2014, when she was still a student, Cat Crazy began to look for her own creative style. She created illustrations for stray cats. With watercolor brushes, she painted the happy life of stray cats after they were adopted. She hoped to help stray cats by letting more people see the cuteness of stray cats and choose to adopt them instead of buying them.
In 2015, Mao Fengzi made up his mind to pursue a career as an illustrator. He started by drawing pet portraits for customized orders, creating works for all furry friends, and always donated a portion of his income to help stray animals.
“Not only can everyone get exclusive illustrations for their favorite furry pets, but it can also greatly help those furry pets who haven’t found a home yet.”
In 2016, Crazy Cat held a two-month personal small art exhibition "Painting Love, Cats".
As he continued to paint, in the blink of an eye, Crazy Cat had created hundreds of works and had painted hundreds of furry friends.
"I've written for stray cats and many other people's pets, so... how can I not write a whole picture book for my own pet!" Crazy Cat thought, and so...
In 2018, the picture book "Little Black and Big White" was born.
The little black cat and the big white dog in the picture book are the favorite little black cat and the closest big white dog of the crazy cat in real life.
In 2019, the picture book story of Crazy Cat continued to extend, and "Little Black and Big White" became a series of picture books.
In early 2019, Mao Fengzi collaborated with the beauty brand Ucare to jointly launch an artist-illustrated mask book gift box.
In mid-2019, Crazy Cat held his first solo exhibition of original illustrations, "Crazy Cat Original Illustration Exhibition".
In September 2019, the "My Dearest Cute Friend" Chen Kejia's original illustration solo exhibition was held in Shanghai for the first time.
In November 2019, Mao Fengzi won the first prize in the Zijin Houde Public Welfare Image Design Competition.
At the end of 2019, the series of picture books "Little Black and Big White" was first published in Taiwan, and the first volume "A Different Me" and the second volume "Don't Be Afraid, I'm with You" were published in mainland China the following year.
In 2020, Mao Fengzi once again held an original illustration solo exhibition "Loft Market Love Festival" in Shanghai.
In April 2021, Crazy Cat’s original products will be sold in physical stores.
In June 2021, Cat Maniac participated in an interview with the clothing brand dzzit.
In August 2021, Crazy Cat and the fragrance brand Solar Terms Box jointly launched the Wake Up Cat scented candle.
In December 2021, the third book in the "Little Black and Big White" series, "Why is there no cat in the Chinese Zodiac?", was published.
In April 2022, Mao Fengzi served as the main visual designer for the "Keyuan Nostalgic New Year Spring Gathering" event.
Crazy Cat, who is still on the road to becoming an illustrator, has never stopped painting.
She hopes that her creations over the past few years can truly bring happy homes to stray furry children.
There are no complicated reasons or profound concepts. This has always been Crazy Cat’s simplest original intention - just because Crazy Cat loves furry babies the most!
