Calico
The fur color of cats is defined in the X chromosome. That’s why almost all tri colored cats have at least 2 X chromosomes (white does not need color information). But not all calico cats are female. Some are inter like me (in my case 47,XXY, unfortunately Im no cat)
The drawing was made by taking a cat photograph and reduce it to 3 colors (-white) and use Stippling and TSP with 2000 virtual dots. #pridemonth #pride #penplotter

Abstract drawing of a calico/tri colored cat made out of black and golden lines on white structured paper. It’s made of 2 continuous intertwined lines (some are broken due to inconsistent ink flow) connecting 2000 not visible dots in a complicated zig zag way. The cat is sitting and looking in the direction of the viewer with the paws barely visible and the tail going out of the frame to the right.

They are distributed evenly on the patches of matching color and connected in the mathematically shortest possible way.
The lines symbolize the DNA, but also the long and complicated way with many stops the life of an inter person has. I show this as an easy example for gender diversity and inter awareness. Also cats are cute. It was drawn ony my diy pen plotter, A4, 2024, which broke down, which makes it kind of a one of a kind.
