Ya know, Young Architect has been a little bit heavy lately.

Between discussing why I became and Architect, then creating a 10 week program to help you study for the ARE, then going on and on about all the problems and drama with the ARE I think this blog needs to lighten up a little bit.

Maybe now is a good time to let the architecture cats out of the bag.

Architecture Cats?!???

I don’t know how or why the Architecture Cats began. I certainly cannot take credit for them. I snagged them off the internet from a variety of places.

People constantly ask me:

Michael Riscica, How the hell do you find this stuff?!???

Easy, answer.

I don’t…

This stuff finds me. I am just a messenger.

I discovered the Architecture Cats when I was looking for a picture of Le Corbusier to photoshop, which then took me down a very long, dark and demented path leading me towards photoshopping some of my own ridiculous Cat pictures. A few of the pictures below were made by myself.

If you have any additional Architecture Cat images that I can add, please email them to me and I'll throw them up on this webpage.
