You are part of The Funky Love Bunny Art™
あなたはファンキーラブバニーアートの一部です™
I knew I would not succeed as an artist until I had invented a truly unique process. I didn't want The FLB art /process to be bound to just the traditional gallery framework or traditional fine art techniques that would limit its possibilities, scope & accessibility. What I wanted was a process that would be documented simply by the understanding of it's existence & thus automatically become part of it. And by sheer coincidence I was reading an excerpt about Taoism in Benjamin Hoffs book "The Tao of Pooh" & it struck me that like the stonecutter story, what I realised is
'Art is when you create a process & Craft is when you use those processes to create"- my life is the process, the artwork

ラブバニーフォトグラフィー
Funky Love Bunny studied tradition film based photography as a teenager in High School and started working casually in Photography upon completion. In 1995/96 Funky majored in Photography during his Associate Diploma in Fine Arts (Sydney Australia). Funky later also created the first blog dedicated to iPhone Photograpy called iPhography.com & has had photography exhibited in Australia & around the world whilst photographing for bands & festivals like The Big Day Out & model sites such as Suicide Girls. Funky's recent focus has been on abstract photography
The Funky Love Bunny process artwork
by the Australian artist of the same name (Funky Love Bunny). To avoid confusion, when talking about the Process artwork, "The" is used in front of it (eg. The FLB), to separate it from it's creator Funky Love Bunny. Although this process has been decades in planning, the official government recognition of the birth of The FLB came on the 18th February 2003. Which now makes The FLB the worlds first artwork with an official government issued birth certificate & passport to recognise it's creation
