Shoal - Enamel Pin - Loki Cat - Purrmaid Pals

Forget BFFs, every purrmaid needs a BSF-- best squid friend!

This pin series was inspired by Serena's tuxedo cat, Loki, and his adorable antics. Loki developed injection site sarcoma (a rare type of cancer) in 2017. We were lucky to get an extra year together, thanks to surgery and radiation, before his cancer returned in 2019 and took him from us. We designed these pins to remember Loki and share him with the world.

About Shoal
Shoal began as two separate illustration studios in 2015, Oh Plesiosaur (run by Serena) and Natelle Draws Stuff (run by Natelle). After many years in business and countless collaborations with each other, we decided to join forces, channeling our mutual love of nature and art into a single studio.
