ABOUT THIS ORANGE TABBY CARPENTER DESIGN
This design celebrates the skill, effort and personality found in hands-on work. The orange tabby character combines a friendly expression with carpenter-inspired workwear, while the yellow, teal, cream and warm orange palette keeps the artwork energetic and easy to recognise.
Layered shapes, soft patch edges and stitch-like details give the illustration the appearance of a chenille varsity emblem. The phrase “Clocked In, Claws Out” adds a lighthearted workday attitude without tying the artwork to a specific year, making it suitable for Labor Day as well as everyday wear.
It is a playful meeting point between trade-inspired artwork and cat-lover humour: hardworking enough for the workshop, cheerful enough for a casual shirt, mug, sticker or gift.
