Not only was Cat Stevens a gifted musician, he was a talented artist as well. As a small boy his first ambition was to be a famous artist like his Uncle Hugo, his mother's brother who was a well-known artist in Sweden. As he grew older, he entered Hammersmith College to study Art. But his interest in Art soon took second nature to his love of Music. But he continued to use his art. He drew and designed his own album covers, among them Tea for the Tillerman and the famous Teaser and the Firecat which was eventually turned into a children's book and animated cartoon. Majicat has been fortunate enough to obtain some of these very rare drawings by Cat through various publications to present to you.
