For more than three decades, Calgary artist Jeff de Boer has been crafting unique art pieces sized for mice and cats

The concept, according to Calgary artist Jeff de Boer, is nothing new. There is, for example, Medieval imagery of mice and cats wearing suits of armour. “You can find an episode in Bugs Bunny where there’s a museum where they have all this animal armour.” The notion has been around for a long time. “What no one’s ever done,” said Mr. de Boer, “is actually make a suit of armour for a mouse.”
