A bit animal mad....
My name is Kelly and I'm the face behind FabFunky. I've made and created stuff all of my life, and have had a go at pretty much everything creative... except for knitting. I can't knit.
I'm a totally self taught artist and a HUGE animal lover and live with four big dogs, and my husband, right by the sea in West Sussex on the south coast of the UK. I've had the privilege of living with many animals during my lifetime and have learned to appreciate all of their unique personalities and funny little quirks, and it's this that inspires my artwork.
Here in my FabFunky shop I print my original designs onto antiquarian book pages. These pages are removed from books that were printed in the 1800's and so they are steeped in history and are genuine antiques.
We have now also branched out into other areas of home decor to design and make some truly unusual and unique interior products. These include pillows/cushions, ceramics and lampshades.
And of course I'm a lover of the absurd and whimsical which I think comes across in my designs. I mainly focus on animals and I take the human characteristics that I see in them and exaggerate them. Sometimes its takes the direction of an amusing image, but other times I like to give my animals an elegance inspired by the Regency and Victorian eras.
I like to work in great detail and include elements that will never be seen, but I know that they are there hidden away there! Occasionally some of my guys have things under their hats or in their pockets and I enjoying working with secret layers of nick-nacks and keepsakes that belong only in the 2D world of the design I am creating.
My foxes check their pocket watches when you're not looking!
