THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THE ART:
Celebrate 2026 with the Cats Complicated Friendships Calendar!
By Ravi Zupa, part of the Strike Your Fancy series by Ravi Zupa and Arna Miller
Ravi Zupa and Arna Miller 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 Dog 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.
