Paintings of 'dreamy' Big Cats by Yorkshire artist Kelsey Emblow created from thousands of tiny dots

Created using thousands of tiny dots, the warming tributes to tigers, lions and panthers combine the Yorkshire artist's love of stippling with abstract art – something her father specialised in when he was at college.

"There's a nostalgic quality to these illustrations," says Kelsey. "As if from a long lost dream. The cats are drawn with thousands of tiny dots with a soft abstract background and foreground appearing like colourful fog or clouds. The inspiration behind the illustrations was a growing fear that they will one day be extinct, and one day may become merely a dream."
