When the 'FUNKY' cogs start working,
and the pages fill with colour,
Cartoons suddenly come to life,
Bring a 'GIGGLE' to share with each other.
Hello everyone, here we are at the end of Summer and into Autumn we start to glide, suddenly long leisurely hacks are replaced with muddy boots, spiders loose their summer homes as the rugs come back out for winter, and water troughs suddenly become grubby and full of leaves.That gleaming coat you have been taking photographs of all summer suddenly looks like a raggy teddy that has been hung out on the line too long!
I know both our ponies are looking VERY fluffy again, Smurf is starting to grow his mustache back as he does every year, he looks so funny. I love my little FUNKY ponies.
I have started this blog post with not really much of a plan of what to write, I haven't done very much 'arty' this year until this last few weeks when i have felt those funky cogs start to work again. It was nice to feel them, even if they took some getting into momentum . . . They were of course seized shut from being locked away for so long, BUT they are moving, admittedly at times rather CLUNKY and they heat up easy and i fear lost bolts, BUT moving is momentum, momentum is good.
So then what have i done with my 'MOMENTUM' ? Well after a summer of PONIES and our second summer with Sparky pony and the inspiring collection of memories stored from days with the kids and ponies i have been sketching down ideas for future cartoons, lots of giggles, many a smile! Along with this Smurfmy little rescue foal is now all grown up and can you believe he is 3 years old! What a life we have had together so far, so many memories, we have also come through so much together and i feel this incredable bond with him i have never felt with a horse before, he really is SPECIAL. We have mainly spent our days chilling together in the field and i have been enjoying playing and running with him on the lovely summery days we have been having. The times i have with Smurf fill me with joy, and Sparky she is just such a gentle and loving character with a lot of cheeky-ness thrown in!
Add the pair of them together and there is some serious amounts of HUMOUR!
My cartoonwork i feel has a fresh edge to it now that i have the opportunity and privalage to have the ponies to inspire me, my work will have a more personal feel, a new edge. I always got attached to my Funky GeeGee's when i created them but now that i am creating them with all these personal memories and feelings attached to them and now with them being MY ponies i am creating for my new collections . . .
. . . . Well that just makes them even more personally FUNKY! :D
My newest collection of paintings are based around the ponies, the first collection is SMURF and his pre-school updates as he gets ready for 'proper' school next year.
I'd love to share with you the few i have done so far, hope they make you GIGGLE~
He really is a FUNKY little GeeGee!
I also plan to create a collection starring Sparky pony and the troubles of a first pony which i will launch later in the year. I hope to share many giggles and the ability to relate to the comical side of our GeeGee's. I as always am very thankful to all of my followers, i love to know my work is also enjoyed by others all over the globe and i feel privileged to have you all join me on my FUNKY journey, wherever that may take me.
To end this blog post i'd love to share with you a video of my cartoonwork over the last couple of years, mixed with an insight into my Funky life and the ponies. I plan to move forwards with all these new FUNKY ideas that are wizzing through my head at the moment and also plan to get back into writing and releasing all these funky ideas out onto paper, YIKES . . . Best go buy some more, oh yeh, and where did i last see that pencil sharpener? Hahaha, Hope you enjoy my video, thankyou all :)
Catch up REALLY soon ~
Love ~ Miss Funky xxx
