The Holy Trinity (Alicia King, Mish Meijers and Tricky Walsh) feature in the freshly released CATS OF THE APOCALYPSE 2012 Calendar, produced by Jess Johnson of Hell Gallery, Melbourne, and Dr Kyla McFarlane.

“As well as really liking CATS, we share an academic interest in doomsday predictions and associated INTERNET websites.” They have worked with eleven artists to visually extrapolate these universal concerns in the form of a 2012 calendar (CATS of the Apocalypse).

Contributing artists Tony Garifalakis (13 and Doomsday pictured), Anastasia Klose, Susan Jacobs, COBRA (JPN), Yvonne Todd (NZ), Lou Hubbard, Hannah Tai, The Holy Trinity, Patrick Pound, Martin Bell and Lisa Radford have been invited to take part due to their demonstrated love of cats and/or affinity with doom culture.

“Earth’s annihilation will sadly extend to the extinction of our feline friends,” say Jess and Kyla. “As such we think a 2012 CATS calendar commemorating CATS in transformative END-OF-DAYS scenarios would be a fitting send-off for us all.”
