THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THE ART:
Celebrate 2027 with the Cats Complicated Friendships Calendar!
By Ravi Zupa, part of the Strike Your Fancy series by Ravi Zupa and Arna Miller
Arna and Ravi continue working to expand the series and they are delighted to release yet another calendar for 2027!
The artists first created the Strike Your Fancy series in 2018 as a set of ten hand printed matchboxes. Since then, that original series has become a phenomenon across the globe! Featured on Bored Panda, Colossal, My Modern Met, Chronicle Books, and more. The series has also expanded to include many more designs like the ones featured in this calendar.
Ravi first created these Complicated Friendship designs in 2020 during the lockdown to reflect on what we were all experiencing: the bad and the good, the creativity and frustration, the loneliness and the intimacy. Later, he adjusted the messages on these, just a bit to make them more universal and timeless.
This is Certified Organic Intelligence Art! Everything about this print celebrates human creativity. It begins with real people using good old-fashioned paper and pencil to create human-made art with no A.I. involved! Once printed by skilled artisans, it's lovingly packaged by our small team and sent to YOU, another real human in this process!
We sincerely thank you!
