About

"Cat Standing In Front Of Girl's Face" AI Art Redraw is a redraw meme format and trend based on an AI-generated painting of a red-headed girl wearing a polka-dot patterned shirt and a closeup of her face with a black cat's yellow eye covering her left eye. The image was posted to X / Twitter in early July 2024 by Roger Haus and became the subject of redraws that month, largely as a response to and protest of AI-generated art and to celebrate artwork made by real artists.
