Drum roll please for the new arrivals

Hello there Funky Fans :D

Well i did promise you something a little different, and i can honestly say i am over the moon with the final results of my new little creations. They are supa dupa cute !

Its been a fun journey, I have loved creating these little fun models, and seeing them from start to finish is a lovely and so rewarding. The funky geegees suddenly became real . . . . You could stroke them on the nose, LITERALLY

Hello GeeGee's . . . .Welcome to the world

I didn't expect for one minute the interest these little dudes would gain, and on launching i had orders coming out my forlock.
My kitchen was a display of googley eyed creations, 
Of your faithful funky friends.

So as they were a new thing, and i really LOVE LOVE LOVE how they have turned out, i wanted to make them unique and FUNKY. So with a few hours surfing the web for all the chains and things to make them EVEN MORE FUNKY, a few clicks of some buttons, and a trip to the printers to get that extra finishing touch . . .. We now have a :

NEW PRODUCT

Funky GeeGee's keycharm collection ~ Unique to your fav horse or pony £2.50 each plus postage

All i need is a headshot photo of your horse or pony . . . .Dont own a horse ? No problem, check out the keycharm collection on the FGG's FB page to see whats for sale in stock OR just tell me about your dream horse, il create him/her for you :D

So lets have a little 'PONY WALK' of some of the creations :) 

Excuse some of the photos, I didnt realise how to use the macro setting on my camera before some of the commissions went out in the post, now i know how to use my camera a little better :D 

Thanks to the advice from a fellow artist, to a rather Numpty Miss Funky !! Thanks Ajay, Check out Ajay kerchey's work by clicking here, He does Wildlife art and its breathtaking, you can feel the emotion from each of his subjects, read them and you are somehow taken to their place of being, and feel their soft gentle natures as you melt into their eyes. I love how this artist captures the eyes of his subjects, they pull you into their thoughts.

Whilst the GeeGee's are applying their last few layers of blusher, mascara and half bottles of mane and tail conditioner :D

 Let me have a little shout out to a couple other fellow artists who's work i really love and whom i am glad to of met on my journey. Inspirational, talented, friendly and always there when you need a little advice.  

Please lets support our artists, remember that art comes from the heart, that we need to encourage our artists to keep creating by supporting them through their journeys and enjoying their visions they create. Because they dont only create their art for their own internal enjoyements, That inner peace that we recieve from creating our visions of our world. But also to share with the world the beauty of their subjects in their own unique styles  . . . . AND WOW thats what amazes me about artists, the sheer diversity you will find from each easel.

Like walking a path, taking in that scenary through their eyes. How amazing is that ? 

How often do you get to see the world through someone
 elses eyes? Their perspective, their imagination ??

 A feeling shared but viewed in different ways, a pick up of emotions from one person to another . . . . . . . . Through a picture ??

         I dont know about you, but I think that is  AMAZING:D

So let me introduce you to a few artists I have met on my FUNKY Journey in this thing called life so far :D

TIMELESS EQUINE ART ~ Jennifer Maddock Rowland

High quality art and an empathetic portrayal 
of your horse, pony or dog.

My speciality is graphite art, A pencil portrait produces a clear and faithful image with contrast, drama and an uncanny likeness to your original photograph.

I love Jennifers work, i love the soft feel to her drawings, you can almost touch her subjects on the nose, or pat them on the head. And i can always read stories from their eyes and the expressions she cleverly captures that tell stories of whats going through her subjects mind at the time really pull you into the picture.

  I had my ponies commissioned couple years back and i can honestly say it is the ponies to a T.  Its so nice to have now i dont have the ponies, the amount of memories that drawing brings is amazing, it keeps them still close to me, their memories alive.

MOOODY MOO ART ~ Claire Doe

My art gives me freedom & harmony, a chance to express myself. 

Life's too serious, art doesn't need be.

I just LOVE this ladies humour. Her artwork is just crazily amazing and full of giggles. And trust me when i say this . . . . YOU WILL NEVER look at a Hairy Cooo the same way ever again.

And a visit to your local petting farm after a browse through this Artists gallery, is sure to have you giggling with the images your imagination will throw at you !!

I have Many other artists that i follow and admire, like i say, each unique to their own style, their own vision, AND I'd be here all week if i had to give them all a shout out, because there is simply SOOOOOO Many of them, but NEVER EVER too many of them, embrace creativity, embrace the beauty of our world :D

__________________________________________________________

But the GeeGee's here backstage are stomping their hooves with impatience, and worried with the heat of the studio lights their makeup might indeed run, and what a waste we all know that is.  And im rambling on about artists,
 and they want to strut their stuff.

 (However i've just had a quick glimpse behind the curtain there, and well ONE GeeGee in particular 

i think has over done it a bit with her makeup hmmmmm there is a fine line to cross my deary,

 and you may of crossed it  )

Hmmm, Honey I would tone down your lipstick shade, and maybe only use half of the bottle of mascara, love the blusher though, pink really brings out your cheekbones.

(Come on ? What else can i say, lets just all call her beautiful, and HEY At least she's put in the effort, And she is beautiful, just a little animated today hahaha )

This GeeGee on the other hand, obviously has completely the wrong idea of getting

 spruced up a bit . . . .

 . . . . Lets Just let him be, He does look kinda cool after all :D

SO DRUM ROLL IF YOU WILL PLEASE, And here we can now introduce you to . . .

Well they enjoyed that, and judging by the mess they have made backstage i best get off and find the sweeping brush and shovel. My word how much mess do these GeeGee's need to make ?

I Will be back soon with the final of the summer collection, and maybe a few FUNKY Extra's :D

Catch you all soon ~ Miss Funky <3

COR BLIMEY !! It's been a while, but busy busy !!

HELLOOOOOOO  . . . hahahaha :D

Its been a little while, I know.  But I am still here, and i have still been creating.  Just i havent been creating so much of my cartoons recently, I sort of went off tangent a little and decided to try my arty hand at some other work and painting a rather large and seemingly goes on forever fence :( . . .But that doesn't count, gardening is boring at times, i like planting seeds and stuff, but fence painting ? . . .  . . . Pass me a 10ft canvas anyday.

 Ive also been helping in School with the kids and a local artist, creating new wall murals for the school yard NOW THIS WAS FUN, VERY FUN, And i learnt lots too  .  . ..  . See like i say, Busy, busy :)

 I think after cartooning like crazy trying to get my final illustrations complete (Which may i add, i almost have completed . . .The 'Almost bit' is hard to swallow, I neeeeed to have these done very very soon !) BUT I hit a wall, so to speak . . .A big one with huuuuge bricks and i just needed a break from my cartoon brain and time to relight my inner creative light :)

So i created some different peices, I did a couple of horses, a few birds, a couple sandy beaches, bit dishy dashy here and a wishy washy there, and i even tried a person ! . .  . YEP, A 'real' looking person :) No quirky cute nose and twidly little cartoon fingers, A whole heap of pain in the butt, mind boggling shading to resemble the human features !! . . . .Remind me again why we can't have cute little button noses, and paws for feet and hands ?? Never mind . . . The challenge did me very good to be honest, and i really was pleased with the results :)

Here is couple 'Non' Googly GeeGee's I have created over last few weeks whilst i took a break from the cartoon brain. Lets call it . . . .A bit of a holiday :)

 Alluring ~ Acrylic on canvas 16" x 20"

One day ~ Acrylic on Canvas 16" x 20"

                                                        Starry Eyes ~ Acrylic

                                                       'Spring Bonus' ~ Acrylic

                                                       'Moonlit Contemplation ~ Acrylic

Elements of illusion ~ Acrylic

But my CARTOON head is back on now. And im feeling back into full motion, I think haha.
So now i can continue with my final illustrations for my book, and crack on with some exciting things i have lined up for you all. I have lots of ideas wizzing round, just wish i had some extra arms to hold the darn paintbrushes !!  Never mind, One must not winge, but just jilly jolly on and get there happy and in my own time, rather than rushed and bundled.

One painting i cannot wait to get onto is the final of the larger peices for the Summer 2013 peices. This one will be titled Beach Babes and will be the GeeGee's sunning themselves on their Jolly holiday. This is a very exciting collection that i have really enjoyed working on and getting together. I have almost finished the Airport but it is simply mind boggling crazy materiel . . . .You go dizzy working on it longer than a couple of hours, ive had to put it away for a while, but it will come back out soon Pheeeew !

Here is one of the Smaller peices to go on display with the summer collection.

'Orienteering GeeGee's'

'Oh dear, something tells me they may be lost, I quickly snapped a photo of them with that confused expression and wonder on their faces . . . .Then i promptly turned the map the right way round for them, and pointed them in the right direction '

Good deed done for the day.

So what else have i been cartooning lately ?

 WELL GUESS WHAT ? !!

I AM GOING TO HAVE MY OWN STUDIO SPACE !!

Yep like a REAL Studio, a place to go where i dont have to listen to Peppa pig, repetitive tunes on a running outta battery toy, clunk, clunk, clunk, as spiderman plays pinball around the living room !

YES . . . . . Finally a little 'Escape' Pad, In the garden :)

We are gunna start building work very soon, and this will be a perfect place to display my work instead of it been piled in . . . .'Cough'    . . . In Neat and tidy piles around my increasingly bursting home ! This will happen of course . . . .WHEN IT HAPPENS, But even sooooo EXCITING :)

Well, I will update very soon when i get some more craaaazy creations created :)

Until then here is a GeeGee who i just HAD TO Create, I love this song at the moment, Naughty boy ~ Sam smith. And this GeeGee was more than happy to slip into the costume of the little boy in the dance video and give me his best LaLaLa :D

Well, till next time, goodbye and enjoy that big yellow thing in the sky . . . .Apparently it's called sunshine, and we dont get it that often so make sure you make the most of it :D

Miss Funky <3
