Tuxedo Publishing is a publishing company committed to the one of a kind books out there, similar to how every tuxedo cat is one of a kind. We seek out original and meaningful pieces of work, ranging from coffee table books to novels. Tuxedo is commited to diversity, inclusivity, and we believe that every artist deserves a chance at getting published.  

The idea for Tuxedo Publishing was created when my roommate’s tuxedo cat, Toby, took a nap next to my computer while I was working on sketches. A tuxedo cat is a breed of tabby, and they are known for their black and white fur. Every tuxedo cat has a unique coat, and I thought that this would be a good metaphor for a publishing company that seeks out one of a kind works of art. The dark green color ‘tuxedo’ is written in is pulled from the green eyes of the cat. I chose green because Toby has green eyes, and green is commonly associated with wealth. One would hope that if they are getting a book published, it would lead to some good income. The bowtie is a play on design, making the idea of a tuxedo cat literal. The monocle on his eye was added to symbolize that Tuxedo is a publishing company, because many people used to read using a monocle.
