Black Cat Ramen Banner Print | Retro Ramen Cat Wall Art

A ramen cat print for the kitchen, where the noodles actually happen. A black cat with round yellow eyes slurps ramen from a white bowl, with a pair of orange chopsticks, against a mustard yellow background. A tall orange banner stands on the left. It is a small joke about how everyone eats noodles: with full attention.

About the artwork

Mustard yellow, orange, black and white make up the whole palette. The cat is a solid black shape with two round yellow eyes, bent over a white bowl with orange chopsticks, and the noodles tie cat and bowl together. A tall orange banner block fills the left side and balances the dark mass of the cat. The whole design is done in the style of a retro screen print, with flat, bold color. Portrait.

Why you'll love it

• A cat mid-slurp. The moment of eating is what makes it funny, not just a cat sitting next to a bowl.
• Mustard and orange warm up a kitchen. The yellow ground and orange accents look good next to wood, tile and copper pans.
• Those yellow eyes. Two round yellow eyes in a black face give the cat its expression from across the room.
• Screen-print style. Flat retro color gives it the look of a poster from a noodle bar.
• Made to order. Printed after you buy, colour-managed, never warehoused.

Sizes and materials

• Matte canvas — stretched on a wooden bar, no glare, ready to hang. 12" x 16" to 30" x 40".
• Framed canvas — solid wood floating frame in white, black, espresso or natural. 12" x 16" to 30" x 40".
• Pigment-based archival inks, rated to resist fading for decades indoors.

Styling it at home

Hang it in the kitchen near where the bowls live, or over a small breakfast table. Mustard yellow sits well against white subway tile, sage green cabinets or a black-painted wall. At 12" x 18" it fits the gap between cabinets and a window; 18" x 24" suits an open wall. Pair it with a simple still life of chopsticks or a steaming bowl in a matching orange.

Shipping and care

Unframed prints ship rolled in a protective tube. Framed canvas arrives ready to hang. Keep prints out of direct sunlight to protect the colour, and dust canvas with a dry, soft cloth.

Questions people ask

Which size fits a kitchen? Kitchens rarely have large open walls, so 12" x 18" or 16" x 24" is usually right. Go 18" x 24" for a wider stretch of wall.

Will the yellow background suit my cabinets? Mustard yellow sits well with white, cream, sage and navy cabinets. With yellow or orange cabinets, a black or espresso frame helps separate them.

Is this a good gift for a ramen fan? It is an easy gift for anyone who loves cats, noodles or both. Framed versions come in a white, black, espresso or natural solid wood floating frame.
