Meet K-State's 1951 Willie the Wildcat!
This vintage style abstract collage painting by Erin Maslowski puts the 1951 Willie front and center, radiating iconic Kansas State pride and unapologetic purple power. Surrounding him? A wildly fun explosion of everything K-State fans love: Aggieville eats, legendary traditions, game day energy, agricultural roots, academic excellence, and that unmistakable Manhappiness that lives in every Wildcat’s DNA.
