Bodega Cat With Fruits And Vegetables Puzzle

1000 Piece Puzzle By Simone Johnson.

Bodega cats are as essential to New York City as the subway! The skyscrapers! The yellow cabs! Or some (including us) might argue. Bodega cats are cute, sure, but really, they’re around to keep mice out of bodegas, which are mainstays of NYC culture. Simone Johnson is their eager and gifted portraitist, capturing them at work—which is to say, napping on crates of fruits, stacks of canned beans, and amidst twelve packs of beer, one eye always open for intruders. 

Each Puzzle comes with an interview with the artist in newspaper form.
